FYI I got a new Everest 10 for my youngest son. It had the Gen 7 axle housings. The changes between the new housings and the old are minor but welcome:
1. The new ones don't have those posts sticking down (used as a bumper attachment point on some variants of the E10 put out by other companies). Those posts easily got caught on rocks and ideally were removed on the E10.
2. Both axle housings have a protrusion under where the driveshaft attaches. I grind it down on my axle housings to keep it from catching on rocks. With the old style axle housings that protrusion was hollow so if you ground it down you had a hole into your housing (I got around this, by filling it with JB weld). The new housings are solid so you can grind them down without worrying about breaching the housing.
