This diff spring (don't need a shim, then.)

However the metal parts are a bit too rich for me. Not enough to make me switch platforms. I've really come to enjoy this car, and am convinced it's a more than capable platform.
I also have a boat load of cash in spares at this point, so I think I'll see it through.

I'm right with you. Parts like arms, towers, etc, I can bite the bullet and deal with the small added cost.

and yeah i hear you, they are damn pricey but once you get your car setup and have some spares, the purchasing is minimal so it evens out a bit.
any tips on adjusting the diff with the AE spring? any guidelines you follow that seem to work well with this car? also, do you still need to glue the rings with the AE spring or no?

The issue I kept running into was, the diff would be MONEY. I'd run 1 heat, and it'd get loose. So I'd tighten it up and get stuck between too tight or too loose.

I also updated the Wiki with the alloy horn I've been using, as well as the exotek parts.

I'd tell you to follow the usual "diff break in" guide.

They pop right off if needed, so don't think it's permanent.

I've got way too many spares as well. Haven't broken anything. Sitting on a bunch of hard and medium plastics.
I am going to try the Yokomo diff though. My view is if I'm already going to take the diff apart, get a new spring, mess with spacers, glue diff rings, etc, I may as well try this out. 1st - the Yokomo diff is know for being very smooth with no mods. It's 1/2 the cost, and 2x the longevity in wear. I have 2 xb2's and with $60 outdrives that will be a large cost over time. Wish I would have tried this before buying an extreme amount of replacement plastics.. BTW - anyone have any brass mounts they want to trade/sell?

I have, and can attest to it. I too have a pin tool, and religiously repined the drive shafts. Didn't make the wear any better unfortunately.
But the issue STILL isn't the wear. It's the cost. $60 for outdrives is insane, my wife says I can make reasons to afford many over priced things, but even this one eludes me.
Even if I were a 50% off team racer, $30 is insane. YZ2 outdrives are $15 for the SET.
The smaller pin I believe allows them to last longer.

Rear aren't needed in my experience. Buy a set of b5m wheels, put them on with stock hexes and measure from outside of the rim on the left to the outside of the rim on the right.
Do the same with stock wheels. I got the same measurement.
Fronts - I'm not sure.
