I gave everything a thorough cleaning, and removed both diff rings and the diff balls. You HAVE to use the regular steel outdrives. The lightweight steel outdrives have material removed where the pads would seat, and the plastic outdrives wont handle the abuse. I seriously doubt if you could make more than a few turns with a plastic slipper spool and aluminum CVD bones.
A front steel diff/spool is optimal anyways. Its more durable, and adds weight over the front for more steering.
