Default Best front bulkhead??

I've been reading up on the HR and DHawk/GPM bulks and they both seem to have issues, which would you choose out of them and why??

Cheers CC

The bulkheads do not have issues. It's axials gears that have issues. If you have the regular gears the hot racing and v1 gpm/dhawk will work without incompatibility. If you have the spiral cut HD gears you need the dhawk v2 bulkhead or BHB pinion bearing mod to use the hot racing or v1 bulkhead.

I bought the GPM one just because I have bought all GPM parts. I run the original straight cut gears and with good quality bearings, an Ali diff casing and the GPM Ali shock mount I have had no problems at all, and its taken a fair beating!

The original plastic bulkhead combined with the original plastic diff flexes under power, which causes cheap bearings to fail and the teeth to skip.

I replaced all the front end bits with Ali to lock them all together (they all interlock and support each other) at the front so there could be no diff movement and so far no failures and the straight cut gears are perfectly fine, no need for spiral!
