Hi all,

My erbe has been a shelf queen for some time now. I'm waiting for some, anyone or anything to come out and rescue the erbe's weak diff. I've upgraded to aluminum cup, aluminum diff case, upgraded to AVID ceramic bearings and gone through countless clutches to keep the drive train alive. Yes, I'm running 6S...that's what its advertised to run 65+mph etc etc. But it just doesn't hold up to the use (NOT abuse) of 6S.

So now I'm thinking of going back to nitro, miss the sound, smell...dare I say, less power??! Durability is what I'm after and YES 4 or even 3S is an option, but then that's not why I purchased the ERBE. I was sold on the power and that's what I love. Not the countless diff's that get eaten like tic tacs almost each run.

Case in point, each time i head out for some bashing with my friends (they all run Savage's) and occasionally I give them the roost and show of power. What they hand me back in return is a sub erbe handling monster truck that keeps running fill after fill. That's beginning to sound like the better trade off for me, going back to nitro or on to a more durable rig.

I'm just down on this thing, starting to feel as though I made the wrong choice, spent a TON of money for upgrades and spares. Not to mention all the wrenching time. I just want to play for once without being sidelined. Help me out fellas, any diff upgrades on the horizon (not lst2), step down to 4s, go back to nitro or take my loses and buy another more durable nitro MT?

Help, I've been here too many times
