Diff problems have always been an Ultra liability.

HIGHLY DISAGREE

As Paralyzed said, it was probably just dumb luck with the Ofna. There is noting wrong with the Diffs on the LXe. My dad has been beating his for over 2 years with a 1717 and 6s. No Diff rebuilds front, center or rear. Please shim your diffs and they will hold up to ANYTHING you can throw at them. The buggy tires will break traction before you break a diff if they are assembled correctly...

Give the LX2e a second try, they are the best buggy for the price... The only "upgrade" it needs is an aluminum rear toe plate. after that its a TANK.
