I have been following this thread very interested. NICE WORK!! I thought I found the ideal ball diff for you, unfortunately it also is discontinued. It is a Losi and uses 46T instead of 45. Part number: LOSB3594 Maybe you can find one in the US. That would pretty much solve the issues of the diff h...

As I was looking for the gear, I found Dhawks aluminum case and decided to get it. Question: what bearings go in the case th...

Dynotech makes proper (likely better than oem) replacements for $50/pr on eBay

Dynotech makes proper (likely better than oem) replacements for $50/pr on eBay I saw that there was one last pair. What I saw was aluminum and I have concerns about the longevity for general bashing. I may have a shelf build lined up as 3rd in my queue where that should be ok, but steel is my first...
