Almost forgot, you can also do @Sgt.Speirs TRF201 Transmission Conversion: TRF201 Transmission Conversion for Nissan King Cab, Hilux Monster Racer, (Super) Astute & Madcap - TC Designs... - Tamiyaclub.com I have done all of them. With the alloy diff housings you keep it kinda original. With the complete geared diff you choose trouble free. Wit the TRF201 Transmission Conversion you get something really fancy. And last but not least you can also track down the NOS parts and keep it completely original.

The pot metal differential housings are often the problem. As @Saito2 explains here: You can buy @Muso31 alloy diff housing here: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/225444424246?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=1346-175129-2357-0&ssspo=eUQ3mJ0BTeK&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Or you can buy his complete geared diff here: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/226066985035?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=1346-175129-2357-0&ssspo=eUQ3mJ0BTeK&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yeah, have to pick up the pace on the Avante restoration. Found out that I rather restore an original than build a rerelease because the slight differences between the two.

It seems I just bought a beater Madcap with a cracked chassis: So now I can build a complete Madcap! Or sell it as a complete project? Because I already own a complete Madcap...

Yeah, really looking forward to your experiences with the stock ball diff!

Yeah, but I assumed it would be out of character for @Saito2 to transplant a TRF201 Transmission Conversion into his Madcap / Astute. But as we say: assumption is the mother of all ****-ups. So maybe he surprises me and really wants that TRF201 Transmission Conversion for his Madcap / Astute. If that is the case @Sgt.Speirs is your go-to guy! I can totally recommend him. His ingenuity is beyond words.

Applause for going with NOS diff housings. I wanted to do the same with my Monster Racer or Madcap to see what al the fuss was about. But ultimately I yielded and I went with @Sgt.Speirs TRF201 Transmission Conversion in the Monster Racer and @Muso31 planetary diff in the Madcap... @Muso31 parts can still be found on Ebay (gear diff and alloy diff housings).
