PS don't over tighten your slipper and you won't have tons of drive train issues...

Sorry big thumbs down from this user.. waste of money iMO
The new erevo diffs are much stronger. With a set of al cases (not sure if those are even made yet) they would definately be the best stock option. They still have the crap 2 spider internal design, and do not really work well with thinner diff fluids. That is the main issue with the maxx and revo diffs.

I guess people have been watching me.... I still need to finalize the fit in the revo bulks. I opted to mod the bulks as they are the cheaper part. I do plan to test the diffs with a hacker c50 10xl in my other erevo. Not sure when I will finish. The lst diff swap is not cheap, but costs about the same as a stock revo if you add the al cases and cups with better gears. Plus lst diffs have the std buggy/truggy 4 spider design, which is far superior to the traxxas diff.

If you are toting at least a 1515 neu and 5s lipo, You need these diffs. racers might get away with stockers, but bashers will like the stronger diffs
The v2 rcm diffs are the only drop in option, and that is attractive to many people who lack the time or desire to mod stuff. They are a bit pricey, I guess due to the large amount of machining necessary???? I have a set of v1 diffs, but never got around to putting them in anything.
