I thought the MT2 diffs probably would hold up. I moved on to my E-Maxx without doing the conversion. The CRT is more refined and the center diff makes it much more driveable. So now I wonder how I could incorporate a center diff into a direct drive build. It might also provide the key to reducing driveline shock?
The E maxx setup behaves different than the Direct Drive to Diff Revo. With the E maxx, you have gear options. It will cog occasionally when you take off in 2nd gear. But will explode out of the hole in 1st every time even if you "grab" WOT from a stand still. That's the difference gears can make.
Be thinking ahead of time about upgrading your diffs. The rear one won't last long.
