Could we get bearings on the diff to carry the output shafts? That might remove some of the wobble and make them run more true. I'd love to see a HPI, Losi, AE, etc. diff style done up in aluminum with a steel gear for the Rustler (spider gears > planetary gears). I voted Yes if less than $40, but as I thought about it I would pay much more IF it was 1) Sealed to keep the oil in and 2) toughened up the internals to handle more power.

The Rustler is a 25 year old RC, Traxxas has changed a lot of things in that time but there are still some shortcomings to the design that haven't been addressed yet. IMO they should do a complete overhaul of the design, but it would be unlike Traxxas to do something other than drop old parts onto a sorta new platform and market it as "all new." It was never designed to handle the kind of power even a VXL can put out, not to mention the more powerful motors some of us are running.
