Anyone else wearing front and rear diff outdrives. The rear ones take the most punishment for some reason. Must be from the large tires and longer axles creating more torque on the outdrives. Mine are done after two race nights. I am on my second set of rears, and they are already showing signs of wear after one practice night. This is going to get expensive quick. Any ideas?

Wow, no outdrive problems here. Only been through 2 race days and a couple play sessions, but there doesn't appear to be anything starting to show....very odd.
Engine/gearing/track conditions?
Most of what I drive on is loose, maybe your track is high-bite and therefore more force is going on the drives.
Maybe try tighter clutch springs to reduce the initial on-power grab, less torque (though this isn't necessarily a good solution, to purposely make your truck slower)
I'm sure someone else will chime in.....

Chim, are your diffs shimmed properly?On my mammoth, if the diffs were'nt shimmed properly the diff would'nt last a day of racing.Just make sure there is not to much play,and not to tight.

diggler,
This will be my first winter with my trucks so I can only speak "in theory". Here is what I did:
1. Seal the radio box while you assemble it (you need to seal the these pieces of the radio box and the hole where the wires exit)
2. I seal around my servos where you see the seams
3. Take some lithium grease and coat around the output shaft of the servo (the place where the servo horn goes)
4. If you use a personal transponder or a volt watch, shrink wrap it and fill the ends with some gasket maker
Someone else suggested that after each run I use some compressed air to dry the car and then spray it with some WD40 to prevent rusting.
