It was definitely a learning experience. Knowing what I know now I could probably put one of these together over a weekend. To anyone thinking about making one of these diffs: if I can do it, anyone can. Don't be intimidated by the hardened steel, it's very do-able with the right tools and right advice.

EDIT: One more question about the silicone oil. 50k and 100k seem very high to me for a 1/8 diff. Is that just the nature of the E-revo to need heavier fluids even with this hybrid diff? Or do you guys just like the diff to be very firm? I figured once I swapped all my diffs to 1/8 diffs I could run similar setup to a truggy (7k/10k/3k for example), but now it seems like I'll need heavier weight oils?
