The RTR's also have the losi HD diff cases, where the pro's have the new, all plastic cases.

So the roller has a better quality chassis and shock towers? And is the HD diff case better than the all plastic in the pro/roller?

Also, about the smart diffs... the RTR comes with them but the roller does not? Is that something I would want to have?

I'm just trying to figure out which to go with, and this would be my first 1/8 truggy, so I'm not sure about a lot of this stuff.

Thanks.
