Let me say this.... I have been beating the snot out of my V1 difs for quite while now with no problems at all. I opened them up after a couple months of use to clean them and change the fluid and they looked like new except for the dirt on the outside of the case. I run a solid drivtrain with 1/8 center diff mounted between the gmaxx chassis braces so there is no slipper and I have not been able to break it. I am rather hard on my diffs. When I was running the stockers I would break the rear every 5 or six packs. It was really bad I used to keep a spare rebuilt diff in my toolbox ready to go cuz I knew I was going to break one.

All that being said.... If the V1s will be discontinued maybe I should get a spare pinion just in case. Couldnt hurt to have one on hand cuz getting them later after they are no longer being made will be tough. Is is possible to just buy the pinion without the rest of the diff?
