Personally I'd rather drop $30 for the Traxas diff and call it a day. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about improving my vehicles but I've found that I really need to pick my battles as I got to the point where I was spending more time building car parts than I was actually driving them. I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to turn things around
It could be called a transmission, but it's bordering on the line between being one and not being one.

I answered those questions in the PM. But for everyone else to see, here's my response:
I sold off the tranny before making the "slipperential", so I wasn't able to get a comparison of weight. However, if you are going to compare the weight of the "slipperential" to the weight of the tranny, you should also factor in the weight of the stock Revo engine mount, as that would also be removed if you were to use my design.
