I bought it used as a roller, so who knows what's really in the front/rear diffs. I'm guessing 5K. I sure need some new stiffer springs tho, either that or heavier oil in the fronts, it wants to bottom out pretty easy.
Blunten: yeah I remember your pizza cutters! Thanks for the tip on the 50K stuff. I don't think I'll get any in by the TnT, but I'll bring it out anyway for the heck of it.
I took it to work today with the road rage tires on it to show my coworkers. We've got a LONG stretch of smooth concrete with lots of grip. I'm going to go run around on the empty lot after work tomorrow. I'll see how it performs on dirt with the panther tires on it now. One thing that kinda bugs me is that I've got one of the Century Gear hardened pinions in it, and it's showing some pretty obvious signs of wear already. That's not good. Either I'm being really hard on it, or the Century pinions aren't as hard as they lead you to believe. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Century pinions are not hardened. I even tried heating them up and quenching in oil and that did nothing. Now that you can get the rr gears (same as mikes) there is no point to run the century, unless you run plastic spurs. I run kyosho plastic spurs on all of my buggies and have not had any issues. They do not last as long as the steel spurs, but I hate the metal to metal noise. Plus the teeth do not really wear. It wears where the output shaft comes out of the platic spur, wish it had a metal insert.
