IMO the MIP Superdiffs are mandatory with a BL /Lipo setup in a RC18

I since then ordered the super diffs and the steel diff gears. also have the MIP universals. Will post with an update to let you know how they do. I imagine good because it was fine with the plastics.

I also ran the MIP CVDs which I think you are calling universals, I had issues with the plastic dog bones they would flex too much and pop out. Even with the CVDs I had a few times when they did pop out (I was pretty rough on the RC18). I also experimented with differnt wheel and tire combo's I liked the wheels for the Losi 1/18 scale the best, when I went to the 1/10 scale the performance went down even when I went down to as low as a 10 tooth pinion and I fried a couple of motors( I really likeed the Hyperion over the Mamba)

Yeah CVD's are correct. I call them either or. I have the 1/10 wheels and you need to run 13/60 and it runs great. That is per BYT full speed ahead project http://beatyourtruck.com/project-RC18T.html Also i always get the team kits so the plastic stuff is never an issue. But i could see how they could be. Exactly as you said, they flex and pop out. I might have to try that hyperion setup you linked though. My mamba is actually fired at the moment. I fried the mamba somehow then was going to check the motor for anything abnormal and snapped the shaft trying to get the pinion off. So i need to send it in to castle and fix it.
