The front diff out drive was always the hottest part on my Losi 8T truggy(full size) due to the angle. It was not uncommon to see 170-180 degrees on the front cd outdrive at the end of a run for me. This would be even worse with a very low viscosity oil in the cd, causing it to unload significantly. this heat could also likely lead to short bearing life as well as affecting the plastic around the area(diff cup, diff holder, for example).

Leave whatever review you like on any of my parts or kits, Moller - if it is a realistic review, whether favorable or not, I will approve it as I have nothing to hide. If it is generic, negative and non-constructive, it won't be approved, though - the purpose of a product review is to give other potential purchasers an idea of the pros and cons of the kit and I will honor any review that is in this spirit. I have already asked several times in this thread what could be improved with the kit, but it sounds like you are unhappy with the car itself, or perhaps its durability - I haven't seen any complaints specific to the actual kit that I can impact directly aside from the lack of instructions. If you were local, I would gladly help you out, as I am fairly certain that you either got a "lemon" from Losi, or you are doing something very wrong. I have a few hours on mine and it has been a very reliable, fast and durable truck with excellent track manners.
