Wow they are expensive if I am going to buy two, on top of everything else I need. Maybe they can wait.

Also, I can only seem to find 51T ofna mod1 spur gears.
Yeah, 51t spur is basically the only choice you have when using the strobe, that's not much of an issue though.

There are also FLM diff cups http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=FLM13010 and they are a bit cheaper than the Maxximizers. I've had some in my e-maxx (7XL on 12 and 14 cells) since around christmas, and so far nothing has broken in the diffs.
They are made of a softer alluminium than the Maxximizers and I've heard they can start to wear where the pins go, but I haven't taken mine apart again to look at so I'm not sure how much of an issue that is.
If two seems too expensive still you could try using just one in the rear, since that takes most of the force during accleleration (the front wheels are going to be up in the air of course :027: ), the front half of the drive train usually lasts a bit longer in my experience.
