Is that good, or should I do something else?

From the pix I've seen it looks like they just have a diff shaft and gear set, but the archecture of the tranny has not changed. Ie, input shaft is one gear, and drive gear is one fixed gear, rest is same. Never know until you get a good look at it.

I have the alu diff cups in my XL. They are very beefy, but the ring gears are not as good as the Flux's. Plus they use lame 10 or 12mmx16mm bearing iirc, not the std 8x16's you see on all truggies & other 1/8th scales. Supposedly the flux's diffs have 8x16s. I can't remember if this is was for one side or both.

Besides the Losi's are prolly some weird SAE bearing, or maybe one side is SAE and the other is metric lol. I hated my losi for that. Always having to have two sets of wrenches and guessing what unit they decided to go with for any particular part.
