I wouldn't say 4 bevels in the diff is nessasary but the "diff action" is far better in this format. My brother is getting around in 17.5 ok even with a very light diff however I liked the heavier oil and 4 bevels much better. The gears are cheap so I recommend trying it.

Did a bit of running today at my local club trying to find a well balanced base setup for this chassis for my local tracks. Made a few changes but one change was quite significant, being the screw between the top deck and motor mount. I found removing this with all the others in place gave a much better balance of grip front to rear. This was particularly noticeable in switchbacks (or s-bends) and hard braking while steering. If you race on asphalt, give it a try.

Surprising to hear that. Personally I am against flex, it just takes performance away from the car. This however gave the same lap time as with the screw in but planted the rear of the car. I have tried screws in and out before but just this one by itself seemed to work well. I'll get some more testing in this friday under different conditions so we will see how it translates there.
