try losening the slipper alittle more and dont gun it or brake hard after landing a jump and they should hold up alot better
aluminum cases and the inner brace will help but the only other fix is the massively over priced FLM conversion  |

proper shimming of the diff is necessary for both e-powered/nitro IMO
i run shimmed, alu diff's with Robinson R&P  |

Looking at the exploded view, it appears that there is only one spider gear - is that correct?

These metal parts are what is supposed to make the diffs stronger and the EREvo diff case is different from the nitro one so that the metal blocks fit in it. There are two spider gears in the diffs but for some reason the exploded view only shows one.

Correct...For the most part. If I'm not mistaken, that support bar is now in the newer model 3.3 as well as the E-Revo, Slayer, and the T-Maxx 3.3 and E-Maxx 3905.
They pretty much all have it now I believe, but the original 2.5R and the old 3.3 didn't.
