I used to run Ace exclusively before switching to Hitec and I can confirm that you definitely do need the spacers for them, otherwise they sit on the deck and get destroyed pretty quickly.

I ran the reg diffs this weekend and I liked them a lot. Much more consistent that the smart diffs. Lots easier to maintain too. Smart difft go in the pit box for awhile now.

I never bought into the smart diffs. Seems like a lot of people are pulling them out lately.

ya ya I know you did. But since when do I listen. I do this thng where I get all caught up in the next "new thing" and well sometimes it backfires like the jr hv servos what a waste of $$$ and sometimes it's the best thing ever. Like the ko radio. I love that thing. But you are right you guys did try to tell me. I gotta tear them apart I knew I should have just replaced the r/p but instead I transfered them and well I am suprised they help up. They sound real loud.

You could have passed the orange trug 10x. Practice cutting to the inside of the corner, seemed to me like you were taking the long way around the track.

Just got to say, you guys talk a lot!! But it has given me a better understanding of this truck.

Will this battery fit in the reciever tray?
