How are the Rx8 & T8's holding up?

It makes the car far easier to drive out of corners, particularly on loose/low grip tracks (like my local track). It also seems to help the car over ruts and bumps, calms the low end down, and makes it generally more forgiving. It also seems to add rear-end grip.

Sounds good, I have very bad memories of the slipper in my old savage

Do you think it will aid durability with the ESC/Motor to lift some strain off them long term?

I think it will actually, it certainly made my Tekin last all day!

Were the temps lower and/ or other indications there, that the Slipperential is helping?

[Marvin]

The motor temps were lower, though they were hardly 'hot' in the first place. It could have also had something to do with the 46/17 gearing on there, which was better geared than with a 42/15.

Today I received my ESC back .... they repaired my brand new RX8 instead of sending me a new one and opened the case of the ESC so unprofessionally that anybody could realize that it was repaired ....
Fine ... so I cannot sell this ESC as new on ebay . Maybe I will try it out myself so that I can damage my motor (1700 truggy style) also. Then I have to wait another month for the replacement.

Here are some pictures of my "new" ESC - (I ran it for only some seconds - before it was "repaired")
