The RDlogistics internal diff cases are cheap - $30 for 2 or Mike has the FLM ones for $30 each if you want to go that route.

I would skip the RPM arms - Just go for the traxxas extended rears - I find the RPM ones too flexible.

If you have the strobe slipper at the moment I assume you are mod 1 - Use Briang's script to check pinion sizes once you decide on a motor.

On the Hardened Idler - If you are single speed you will only need one - I recommend the single speed mod.

It might be worth looking at the medusa 60mm - People are finding the run cooler and with the heatsink and the cost of this beast you may just spend the extra $20.

Also you don't need to go as expensive on the charger - I think you might want to re-look at the 1210i which mike stocks - You can charge both packs together with a Y lead and every once in a while charge separatly to balance them.

This saves you $100 which could allow you to buy a Neu motor - A 1515 2.5DF would be perfect and a much better investment in my opinion.

Ok. So the external diff case is useable with the FLM internal case?

Yes, Mod1. I will check that script

Yes, the gearbox is singlespeed, I think. But I think that last owner has replaced the Hardened Idler.. Have to check that tomorrow

Is that motor 4 poler? BK12020 won't run it nicely?

Does the charging times suffer with this kind of modding? And this 1210i has integrated balancer?

This motor/esc setup is just temporary, I will look the mmm + neu set later... when they publish it...

Sorry for the huge quote
