Was looking arounnd online this morning and saw this on fleabay. Says it improves the diff and gives it more punch?? Anyone have any idea what that means?
That was what Associated printed bitd, it's just a copy/paste for the sellers. I have no idea why it was said to have more punch, I always figured they changed it due to the cost of the tiny thrust bearing assyThis is the Team Associated Stealth Transmission Thrust Bearing Set.
