PM answered and thanks. :)

Well, I dremeled out the mount slightly to get the motor to fit right. It's amazing what less than 0.5mm will do! Now I can use my 14T pinion. Yay!

I ended up ordering those Ofna gaskets at Tower. The diff still isn't leaking, but I might as well do it right, especially now when everything is apart.

I'm still having a heck of a time trying to fit the Quark on there! What's tough is trying to find a position that will make wiring neater while keeping it away from the body enough so it won't get abused if the buggy lands on its lid. But, I think I have a plan. :) So I also ordered some 1/16" thick 6061 aluminum sheet (pretty good price at Tower too). If it turns out like I think it will, it should be pretty.

Do you have a part number handy? I was unable to find 'em, and my diff is bleeding silicone oil all over my chassis. That plastic ring is exactly what the diff needs. How did you go about making it?

I'm seriously considering a 777 diff, just for ease of maintenance.

I don't know the Ofna specific part number, but glassdoctor said these should work.

The plastic one I made was done simply by tracing out the size needed and using lexan scissors to cut the rough shape. Then, I used a dremel sanding wheel for the fine shaping. Note: Even though it hasn't leaked yet, I don't know if it will under actual use. To avoid the chance, I simply bought the real gaskets.

I thought about getting a 777 diff as well. Seems a lot less trouble overall.
