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.

In the buggy world ultra diffs are known to be a weak link... shimming helps tremendously.

Well.... Maybe I am the one with Dumb (read GOOD) Luck.

We have an old Ultra LX with a 1518 and 6s my brother drives and
My dad's LX1e with 1717 and 6s. Not one broken diff yet. 2+ years running.

My lx1e's diffs are fine too, on 6s with a 1515. I believe newer diffs may be stronger. My Ultra nitro buggy ate diffs all the time.

They just have a bad reputation, that is all we're saying.
