I can usually get some pretty good life out of the AE diff, some parts wear though.
The AE B44 wing. Losi Parts House and speedtechrc are where the parts are around these parts, both OC/RC and West Coast carry a full parts lot for the RB6. Parts supply is in good shape. They cant deny the car since we already have 5 guys running it at OC/RC and West Coast is Kyosho land period. I too had the original RB5 when it came out and went through parts pain with you. Totally different story now.
