Default Front/rear metal diff housings

Is any company out there making metal diff housing for the Sendero/ trail walker series trucks? Thinking metal diffs a little more weight near the wheels.

Do you need more than you can get with Beeftubes axles and brass C Hubs + SSD brass knuckles + some SSD brass "brake discs"? Not to mention SSD brass link mounts and Maybe some stainless lower links. Club5 also does some nice stainless axle and tranny skid plates.

All combined does add quite alot of weight imo

I feel like I've got more than enough extra weight out of the beeftubes and SSD brass link mount combo. At this point the weighted knuckles would be way too much weight for me.

I haven't seen any Metal Enduro axles as of yet though if you really want to go that route you might consider swapping to AR44 based axles which have the same gearing and theres multiple metal options. I'm sure you'd need to tinker with the setup to get it all dialed in though.

Mine are plastic. Just looking for a little more weight and strength. Are the Beeftubes specific or are they generic?

SSD and Samix have brass diff covers.

They offer the hard plastic housing with metal sleeves preinstalled
