Accessing E-Revo diffs - is it really that hard?

You must have some better tools than I use. I just have regular L-wrenches that kill your fingers. I'd love to get a small electric screwdriver with some hex bits for it though.

Yes a good set of hex drivers is mandatory! Take off the shocks, 3 screws holding the body mount to the bulks, and a set screw on each driveshaft. Pretty sure that's all that is needed for the rear diff. The front diff does take an extra minute or two. Putting it back together is the tricky part, lining up the center driveshafts.
