The aluminium is great, but you have to pay to play with them. The alloy is just too soft for that kind of application. 1/8th scale's put a ton of stress on components. Its amazing that they are as durable as they are.

i never had steel diff internals. when i go to order the replacement gears, whether they are the x1 or x2 gears, they are still aluminum. the only ofna gears i could find for this truggy are aluminum. i went ahead and ordered some diff gears from a HotBodies Lightning. the gears have the same amount of teeth and look the same as the stock ones. hopefully they work.
They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
