Sorry, I read center diff and was thinking of the rear inserts (LOSA4430). My LHS has had several sets (of the rear inserts) back ordered for months and I've checked several online hobby shops 2-3+ times a week for them and have never seen them in stock anywhere!

I understand that the 8ight has done better than expected, but how long can Horizon keep using that as an excuse? Eventually, they need to up their production and get the key parts and accessories on the shelves - check out how many of the 'stock' parts for the 8ight are backordered a AMain. Yesterday afternoon it was about every 4th item. From what I've seen, they've been using the unexpected popularity excuse for quite some time, but during this time they've managed to manufacture almost all the same parts to build and sell truggies.
