S2 "updates". Don't know if I'm sold yet...

1. The new HD gear diff. Doesn't have that paper gasket anymore. Also there are metal washers that take up all the slop. Went together nice. Feels nice. But I'm flinging 1000 wt oil all over the place. Yes, I lightly sanded the halves of the diff case.

BTW, the one that comes stock with the S2 is the same as the HD one that you can buy as an add-on part. Except the kit one comes with philips head screws and the add-on part comes with 1.5mm hex screws?

2. I'm confused why they included the servo mount they did? Why three parts, one of which is aluminum, instead of just including the aluminum servo mount from the R1?

3. Also, don't know if I like the new motor mount or not? Really hard to get to the motor mount screws with a bigger pinion on. Almost impossible to get to the pinion set screw now.
