To me, a diff is a diff....the smoother the better. Don't kid yourself though, a NT diff will be subject to far more stress than a XT diff.

ZAC, Make sure to get the nice thrust bearing from Skip Gear. Makes a HUGE difference. That thrust bearing is sold by several companies- mine was packaged by Traxxas.

So does that mean that you can just go to the LHS and get a Traxxas thrust bearing??? Do you have a part # ?

I'm sorry but I've lost the part #. But yes, I went to one of the local hobby stores and just bought it for $10.
There are vendors on Ebay selling them for $6.99 last time I checked. just do a search for "thrust bearing".

That is the same one as the Traxxas, Skipgear, etc...
It's excellent.

Actually it is not the same one it is totally different, I have tested SkipGears and used to run the Traxxas one myself. I had ours made with a notch in it so it can easily be recognized if its our or not.
