It's smooth, but you have to run the diff a bit too tight to keep the diff from slipping. Im going to carbides for the main diff balls.

I got the ceramic balls from Acer. They come in 10 packs for $9. I bough 3 so I had enough for 2 diffs and 2 extra because I will loose some.

Has anyone found an aftermarket thrust bearing that works?

BFast has them, and also carbide and ceramic diff balls in sets of 14. About $10 for a sets of carbides.

Does anyone know where to get the circlips? Are they a standard 8mm internal snapring?

I'm loving the DEX210 so far. The build sucked. That will be sorted out over time. The parts quality is very nice. I am running mid motor 4 gear on hard packed clay outside. The car handled great when the track was loose and really hooked up once traction came up. It jumps almost like a dream.

I did have hard landing on a huge jump and broke the rear shock tower. I got two spares in today. I hope that is not going to be an issue. I've heard of others (on the Oople forum) breaking the rear shock tower.

I got crushed by a Traxxas slash piloted by a eager 10 year old going for a Hot lap. Unfortuantly my Rango was in the way of his short cut..

I now have 2 spares as well.

My Diff is still great. No issues. I was thinking that if you tighten it too much is it possible you are puting too much pressure on the circlip? I know there are specific ways to put it in. I am using stock balls and circlip as well. Did anybody do a apples to apples on the dimensions?

Mine was just a hard flatland from about 3ft up...tower just snapped. sounds like the rear tower is breaking in pretty much the same place on everyones.
