The first thing I would upgrade are the axleshafts from the portal gearboxes to the steering knuckle since the stock ones are so weak. Don't waste your money on the g-made cvd's, they aren't much better. I haven't ran these but they look like a good option since you gain strength and steering angle. DravTech presents a sneak peak on the Gmade R1 Wrapter

The other option is to use RC4WD xvds which are stronger than stock but don't gain as much steering angle as wraith parts. I'm running d40 xvds in mine with t-rex high clearance knuckles but these parts are hard to find after rc4wd probably got rid of them in the mystery boxes

GMade R1 Axle Shaft to XVD mod

The next upgrade is the bearings in the portal gearboxes. DravTech made his adapters so you can fit bigger bearings which should help or you can get bushings.

I'd be interested in that as well. Attempting a truck rebuilt and will be using the portals. It's going to be big and heavy, and most likely more for show than go, but would still like to not tear these or the bearings up.

The portal gears? Or the ring pinion?

With dual 45t motors on 4s with 2.2 tires. That alot torque and wheel speed on tiny bearings and pot metal gears.

No aftermarket gears I know of.

the gear that sits right on top of the final drive gear in the xr10 tranny's is a perfect fit for the upper portal gear, but of course, the teeth are not the same.. if someone knows if there is a berg gear or other gear that is the same as the xr pitch that will fit into the lower portal then problem solved.. kinda.. replace the bearings with bushings?
