E Revo Center Diff questions and Opinions

[sikeston34m]

Hi Guys,

Well I've trashed my second diff in my E Revo so far.

The first was the stock rear diff. It sheared a tooth off the pinion, then began chewing it up.

I upgraded with RCM V2 diffs using 13/43 gears. Everything shimmed perfectly. For output shafts, Ofna Mutilator cups were used. These took the place of the inner cups for the Traxxas CVD's. Also installed.

The front diff pinion bearing on the RCM diff is gone this time.

I also see the rear center drive shaft is about to shear off the Rear U-joint.

My current setup is:

MMM ESC
Medusa 36-70-2000kv geared 22/40 (46mph with the 13/43 diffs)
4S Lipo.

I do like to run a tight slipper. It is usually screwed all the way in, then backed off about 1 turn.

I know the Traxxas center diff will lessen the shocks to the drivetrain, but it will also change how the truck drives. Front Tire ballooning on acceleration, difference in braking, and other things I'm sure.

Should I get the center diff? Please tell me about your opinions and experiences.

I'm really tired off rebuilding/replacing diffs, but I want my truck to haul butt.

I'm putting together a parts list. Should the Traxxas Center Diff be part of this rebuild?

Thanks
