Vendetta ST upgrade questions

[kulangflow]

So, I searched this forum and a few others, but I couldn't quite find what I am looking for.

It is evident that I need CVDs and ball-diffs for my Vendetta ST. Which ones have you had the most success with? (Which ones would you recommend or stay away from?)

CVDs

GPM - Duratrax Vendetta buggy heavy duty steel swing shaft cvds by GPM. Includes two harded steel cvds. - SMB4241C - 10.99
Atomic - Duratrax Vendetta ST Truggy MB4 heavy duty 7075 aluminum Swing shafts CVDs for either Front or Rear. Includes 1 pair - MBT002 - 21.99
Atomic - Duratrax Vendetta MB4 heavy duty Swing shafts CVDs for either Front or Rear. Includes 1 pair - BM001 - 11.99
Duratrax - This is the optional Threaded Steel CV Driveshaft Set for the Duratrax Vendetta, includes outdrives - DTXC7294 - 37.99

Ball Diffs

Atomic - Duratrax Vendetta buggy or ST & MB4 Carbon Steel high Precision Ball Diff Differential - MB002 - 21.99
Duratrax - Complete Ball Differential for the Duratrax Vendetta. Metal construction with plastic gear - DTXC7348 - 24.99

Also, is there a recommended adapter for using RC18 wheels with any of the aforementioned CVDs? My stock tires are bald. I have a plethora of RC18 wheels and tires to use, so I'd like to take advantage of them if possible.
