why would you need a new diff right away. people have degraded losi diffs in what they say about them. there is nothing wrong with them at all. if you ajust them correctly and maintain them the right way they should be maintained there wont be a problem. if you need a diff that bad then id say get the b-fast losi diff.

I have seen some trashed diffs. Most of them were the result of improper break-in, lack of maintenence and/or running the diff too loose. Some were just long over due for replacement. A properly broke-in, set and maintained diff will last quite some time. Also the cornering of the truck will be at it's best.
There is some good info on the B-FAST thread here on RCTech under "Electric Offroad" and at www.bfastrc.com
I run a XXXT Mamba Max/4600 and love it.

If guys at your track are burning up diffs... then something is wrong.. The Losi diff has changed very little in the last 10 years.. just a few slight variations.
The biggest thing you'll need to worry about are the diff rings. If they groove up, which is usually the case, then flip them or replace them... not a big deal.. They are $2 a pair. You can check out the B-fast stuff.. hearing a lot of good things about them.
I have run everything from a stock 27t motor to a 9t single.. to a 3.5 Brushless.. never had a diff melt or strip gears on a well maintained tranny.
A loose diff will melt as will a dry one. A tight diff run on blue groove or the street will strip gears... that's just the way competition level racers work.
Good luck!

If you have the first version XXX I would suggest the CR Monster diff screw and spring set. With a coil spring instead of the coned Bellville washers. Makes it a little easier to set and maintains setting better.
Also be sure to tighten/check the diff after the first run or two after rebuilding, they bed in a little.

Get a gear diff from the Losi Desert Truck
This is what you'll need:
The complete gear diff: LOSA2930
Tranny case: LOSA2919
They're about $25.
