So far I have found the following.
Cheapest and best upgrade is to simply use a good gear lube. Mobile 1 Synthetic Grease (NLGI) red stuff. Apply it to the gears surfaces completely (spin repeat until covered). You will be amazed how much longer your diffs will last.
King headz sold a pretty solid set (13T/43T) hardened pinion/ring gear's but I can't seem to find them listed online anymore. (discontinued??)
Ofna has a hardened 44t ring gear Part# 31010 drop in replacement. Would recommend this route as they will be easier to find (replace). Remember to stock up on pinions as they tend to explode.
Have been looking for hardened outdrives and found some at rc-monster.com but do not know if they will fit. Don't get me wrong the stock ones are bomb proof they just don't like the occassional panic breaking. http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...tdrives&cat=40
rc-monster sells the large 25+ teeth mod1 hardened pinions that don't seem to wear even using the metal spurs. (expensive) http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...1pinion&cat=40
Anyone else know of any reliability improving upgrades?

Have not had a foam insert bunch up on me from any of these brands.

just wanted to show some pictures of my car please excuse the dirt as it gets a fair bit of playtime.
Some have PM'd me asking how I adjust the droop so I took a couple of pictures. Have also showed my layout with center hood support and extra weight to the motor side for ballancing purposes.
Haven't had any problems with the electrics but I keep my wire runs as short as possible. Switched from Deans plugs to EC5 connectors on the battery.

We got the Porsche Bodies in from OFNA, but they all sold out immediately, but we have more on the way next week. There are about 30 of these left and then they will be gone forever. I snapped a picture before sending the last one out....

Sweep tires are available unmounted and come with very good insert and then mount those to the stock wheel.
