    Thanks guys, thats the third body I have painted. I cant wait to run it, the last time I ran it the rear diff bearing decided to go out and take the rear bulk with it.

    Is there a CEN diff shortage?

    Yea, I bought 4 avid rubber sealed bearings from lhs. One side is rubber shielded and the other is metal. I've never used these before but they seem high quality, very smooth and no play.

    Is there a CEN diff shortage?

    Wasted Mods

    Beadlocks. The bead came out after every run, and the screws would strip in the plastic. I hated them.

    IMO Integy Beadlocks Suck!

    I have a set of maximizers with off set and i don't like them. The bead always comes out after about every bash, and I'm not hard on the truck. I thinking of switching to pro line dish wheels in black because I like the race look better plus their cheap.

    locker in the back

    Yes a locker is hard on the rear drive shafts. I had one in my e-maxx and the rear shafts twisted, although these were plastic slider shafts.
