don't waste your money on anything other than MIP Thorp wrenches. Best money you will spend in this hobby. You will need more than just this, but this one is a must:

for the reason you mention, it DOES matter if one of the thrust washers is larger!! The larger of the 2 needs to be seated against the snap ring.Some of the issues people are having could be the result of using the smaller of the 2 washers against the snap ring. Combine that with having the snap ring in "upside down' so to speak so the rounded edge is the one carying the load and i can surely see where this could cause the issues some are having with the snap ring coming unseated from the groove it rests in.

You're not missing anything. If the bore is "X" deep the thickness of the overall thrust assembly will not change if the washers are on either side. The "X" will still measure the same length.

Yeah, my thought was the depth of the thrust bearing of other brands causing issues with the diff assembly being over tightened. Which may cause the circlip to fail prematurely. I have a sneaking suspicion that some peoples hands are not calibrated properly.

Ok, I'm not going crazy here....
Any Durango guys going to Trackside this Saturday? We're gonna go and try to get a headstart tuning for the Spektrum race- I have the SC10 with a big "5" on that the roof and Cush will be running his Durango buggies.

Would you care to explain why you think this? I'm not saying it isn't so, but the orientation of the washers should not matter provided that the races are pretty facing the caged thrust. There is a set dimension of the bore that the thrust assembly goes into, defined by the outdrive and the circlip. There is also a set dimension of the thrust assembly- whether you have the larger washer in the hole first or last does not change the overall dimension, nor does it affect the depth at which the diff bolt rests. Maybe I'm missing something. I totally agree that the orientation of the circlip is crucial, but the way I see it the washers should not affect anything. Maybe I'm missing something..
I get what he meant by this..... the washers were a different DIAMETER, not thickness. If you put the bigger of the two washers in first, then the smaller diameter washer would push against the snap ring, but more towards the middle of the ring as opposed to out towards the outer edge where the ring enters the groove of the outdrive..the theory is that as pressure is applied to the thrust assembly, the smaller washer could make the snap ring flex enough that it could dislodge it from the groove. If the larger washer is pushing against the snap ring, then the pressure is applied closer to the "solid" part, where the ring rests in the groove of the outdrive. Little to no flex of the ring means, it shouldnt pop out of the groove.
