Very true. I wore out my first set of dynamite drivers (crap) within a month. I was just strolling thru home depot one day and I saw the IXO driver. It was 40 bucks, but it had a lithium battery, so I had to have it. I paid 40 for my lois drives, 4 of em... Still a good purchase, good tools are the best investment you can make, next to a high end charger and a pocket voltmeter!

The first time I took the diffs out of a revo was on the G2R I had (bought it used and the guy had spools front and rear). Not only did I have to get to both front and rear but a total rebuild was needed on both. I had it apart changed and back together in a little more than an hour. Getting the bumper off was a pita cause I missed a screw! I'm sure I could do it in under an hour now, will be doing it soon myself. Pretty sure the diffs just have grease in them stock, need to put some silicone fluid in there!

Certainly not the easiest job, but you did it in a good time. It takes me forever to get a diff filled and installed, but I am picky on gear mesh and I always seem to spend a while cleaning the internals before I fill one!
