It was new but not NIB. New without the box. I just compared driveshaft lengths with the rear. They all seem to be the same. The front diff seems good without opening it up. All my other 1/8 scalers, the driveshafts go a good 2mm further in the drive cups. So I'm kind of stumped. I can reduce the droop, but it still is riding right there on the edge. I may have to try what you suggest.
