Shame they didn't consider making it Hotshot compatible too.

Re: MIP to make Ball Diff for Blackfoot/Monster Beetle/Frog/
big difference I see is that you use bearings right in the transmission side plates rather than the adapter to a 5x11, so the outdrive cups are part of the diff plates, they don't neck down to 5mm. So that is why it doesn't fit hotshot.

Exactly, it specs a 10x15 and I'm sure it's just flanged so it takes the place of the adapters. I agree it's a missed opportunity tho!

This is great news, just need to buy a monster beetle now!
Would anybody be interest in shipping a set to the UK? I doubt MIP will include custom charges with the $10 shipping. So will get stung extra $30 if I order with them.

Give it Gas!

Would this work with the original Blackfoot's or Monster Beetles?
