People dont rate the BP diffs enough... They are some of the chunkiest diffs i have seen. I did manage to rip a tooth of my front pinion and that was because i landed on power and very hard causing a lot of flex in the bulk head. These diffs in the alloy bulks should be as smooth as butter... Fingers crossed for you and me as well when the new IceHV is released.

IMO about the tranny, i know you are hoping the slipper will save your ass... but when i was testing and only on 6s, i worked out my only option was to tighten the slipper all the way down or i cooked the slipper pad within one lipo run.
What i also noticed is that if you are soft on your thottle finger and only fully blast it once moving, the gears lasted a little longer but still wore down. The tranny was never designed for flux power in mind.

What i did notice which was frustrating, that it was the same 2 gears in the tranny that i kept shredding (all the other never required replacing as they sell HD Ones). I asked castle if they would release some HD Gears to replace them and they said no. If there were 2 hardened gears to replace the stock ones, then i think the tranny would be more than fine.

I tried to convince HPI that it was a big problem, but they wouldnt listen to me, and instead offered to send me replacement gears everytime i shredded one after providing a picture. I cant rate HPI europe enough, they have very good customer service....
