cota 348 setup-good,epa good,driving style probably. My Mugen mbx6 has all the steering I need but the losi did not. You can physically se how much more steering throw the mugen and assoc. have compared to the 1.0. The 2.0 seems to have more but I have not looked that close. The allure right now is the Ver.1 can be bought for 250.00 and with the smart diffs WILL be a good ride.

If you could only have one smart diff would you get the front or center diff?

c.branch....I would tend to agree with the "WILL" be a good ride. For the money could be tremendous. 250+160(diffs)=370.! Its not like the 1.0 is obsolete compared to the other cars on the market. Every week I see fast guys with the 1.0. With the diffs,I am assuming they work, it could be a screamer! If these diffs are reliable and work properly the bar has been raised once again by Losi.

I am gradually upgrading my 1.0 with 2.0 parts as I wear stuff out.
I am competitive with my 1.0 and will only be getting better as I get the smart diff and longer chassis on my buggy

No war to start here but I was wondering why Xray active diff is used only in the front? They are pretty close in design I believe.

Drake and Truhe are masters at R&D and testing and have done a ton of testing with the Smart diffs and have figured out what works the best.
I will make a guess and say that the Active diffs in the XRay would work similarly to the Smart diffs in the center of their buggy too.

I will be ordering centers for buggy and truggy as soon as I make another order(assuming they are in stock at that time).

If you think about it a price of $90 isn't that bad.
Lightweight spur: $30
Lightweight out-drives: $20
And since I know I'll end up getting those, the extra cost isn't as painful.
My only issue is that this just adds more areas to make changes. I see there are different springs and "ramp plates" for the diff and I'm sure there will be different fluids also.......
