So I went ahead and ordered 2x Exotek RF Alloy block's with the adjustable shims. From what I can see its no bigger than the normal RF block from durango but is anyone actually using these in a composite Type B chassis ? I have them in my dex210 and desc210. I will probably answer my own question when I get them but just wondering.

I have been, it takes some dremel work on the shims to fit without moding the chassis.

Yup, just buzz off the little tabs off the shims and you're good

are you guys running plastic gears in the gear diff? or metal?
Im going to use the Metal ones that came with the diff gear. Not so sure on the plastic cross bars and gears inless they are pretty good quality.

I am running plastic ones in my dex410 with 8.5 and my Desc210 with a 10.5 no issues so far

Yup, I ran plastic for motorama (stock class) and the beginning of the season (mod), durability is no issue with them

Ok il start with 5k in the rear diff thinking it should work on carpet fine also . Il take a try at them plastic gears and crossbars surprised they hold up with mod motors .

They have been in my stock motor buggy since they came out. No issues with them.

The plastic gears are so tough I'd try them in a desc410 if I had one
What that said, what does a ball rebuild entail? Do people normally re-use the balls? I am putting in new bearings for sure. Does the race thrust cage part get replaced as well, or am I OK to reuse it with maybe some new grease?

The balls wear and get flat spots so replace the balls and the rings. Don't forget the balls that ride in the diff outdrive cup either.
I serviced and replaced every hand full of days driving. If there is any crunchyness to it I would replace. If it wasn't too bad i would clean and flip the rings.
