AE doesn't list a 4x4 part # for just o-rings.

When it comes to diffs I take my time on them. Lightly sand the diff cup to flatten the top better. Use AE green slime on the o-rings and some good grease in the grease hole on the out drive. I do this on all my diffs and shocks and they never leak. I only have about 30 packs through the truck so maybe in time I will experience what everyone else is.

We limit up travel only because at full compression... the axle shafts HIT or CATCH on the diff. outdrives. About 1 or 2 washers were added on mine. I know that one of the ends (front or rear) needed more than the other.

Also in the kit there is gray little washers that snap on to the shaft to limit up travel.

They have some rubber ones that are much better (same as the isolation spacers that come on the radio tray) but you have to spend some obscene amount of money to acquire them after you toss the parts you don't need. The shock shafts are just large enough that none of my old skool RC10 shock spacers won't fit.
My rear outdrives have the wobblys. My fronts are tight as a drum. The solution is a higher duromoter o-ring.

I have around 20 packs on mines and they look as if a bulldozer stampede went over them over and over again.
When I have the time I'll do steel outdrive bushings (and if they turn out good, might aswell mount&sell them, who knows)
I can't just keep replacing diffs. I run the truck on multiple raceways (from very very bumpy, to smooth as asphalt, from loose as snow to hardpacked as cement), so they take quite a lot of beating until I've tuned down the truck.

Lets all agree to dissagree and move on with the slipper discussion. If you feel you don't need to upgrade or change your slipper great, it is working for you. Others have found the need to "Tune" their slipper for different condition, driving styles and track surfaces/sizes.
Pinned topshaft and fiberglass outer disc.
Now it has the adequate slippage, does not fade, has cornering speed, and best of all, HAS ON-POWER FRONT GRIP!!

i just got back my lightweight top shaft that i sent to the man MTK he did the drilling for me , and it works great !!! last night i ran 4 packs thru the truck and no problems ,i also have the basket as well .this is my idea of how a slipper unit should work . it should not pull wheelies . it should slip some on take off . and exit on corners , and i cut away the gear cover , i use the HD pads , after the pin mod and assembly my slipper nut at the correct adjustment is only about half way through the nut , and it rocks . all you guys that are going through idler gears i am sure that you have your adjustments wrong on the slipper unit.
this is what is in the truck RX8 pro 4 4000 540 62/13
spektum radio
XP digital servo
Orion 90c 6500
after running the truck with the pinned mod motor temp was 122 speed control temp 100 slipper 98 transmission 74 so if you look at the numbers you will notice that the temp starts high and comes down as the power is distributed to the wheels . and that was on a fully charged battery and driving it till it lipo cut off on me

I had to rotate the sway bar ends to keep from rubbing the cvd, but once you get them at the right angle, no more rubbing
