I wonder if the spec-r for Yokomo (coming) or either of the two others will work with little mod.
I would not see a issue with 17.5 class it lasting 60-100 runs,

I doubt they will ever become a standard feature of the car,

note these diffs are actually under a different branding "µ-Pro" not T.O.P.

Here is a quick shot of the internals. Looks semi-rebuild-able.

i race my photon for the first time last night , and loved it ..
its soo much easyer to drive than my old shumacher mi4lp , that i sold last week to get the photon

..i was leading the final untill i got took out by the backmarkers , i was'nt happy ..

i still finished 4th , despite my front belt popped off ..

absolutly love the car , its still on a basic carpet setup , apart from the anti roll bars , wheelbase , and acerman settings ..

the only thing i found was , it seems to bog down as its coming out of the corner , ive got the med tunings wings front and back , but i might change the top deck to a foam top deck will this help , i dont want to change it much thou ...

I'm Interested to hear what the Team Drivers have to say about it and what weight fluids they used.

I've never used a gear diff in any of my electric cars, except waaaaaay back in the day when I first got into the hobby and all the tamiya cars had gear diffs. Didn't know anything about tuning back then. But then I found out that a big tuning feature, (especially in nitro) is changing the diff fluid for different action of the diff. But if this diff is not rebuildable, then that tuning option is Null and Void. Or maybe you CAN change the fluid viscosity, in which case this whole post would be Null and Void.

I'd be surprised if it came with oil!
