Baxter, just a suggestion. Since you guys pay a premium for RC stuff over there, why not make some dough for yourself by importing foam tires for example and selling them at the trackside?

Yeah, I know. Saw it on the website. That's why I asked. Just wanted to know if they had those engines with ceramic bearings option in stock.

In Holland, Modelsport Hoofddorp is the official distributor (my LHS) See also at JP internet site:JP Distributors

I'll try to find some reading on this... I have some but it's in Dutch and it's in a college book.

But then I hear 3racing UJs may not be that good a quality and if thats so... I don't want them. If Serpent has Hudy make spring steel UJ's... I'll be flying to the store.
And I think you got me wrong on the 'output speed'. If the diff rotates at 5000rpm, so will the dogbone and wheel. The diff and dogbone will still complete a single rev in the same time. To put it very exaggerated; while the diff outdrive has constant rotating speed, the dogbone may stand still half the time and move twice the speed the other half.
I hope I'm not confusing everyone here...

I hope this makes sense to you all....

Play is an issue, yes! And that would be another pro for fixed UJs.
But this has to do with position of the pin and the angle the dogbone has with the wheelaxle and diff outdrive. The smaller that angle (where 180 is straight, 90 perpendicular) the worse this effect gets.
To get the idea, take a wheelaxle with you left hand, insert a dogbone with your right and bend them in the smallest angle you can. Then rotate the dogboner. Does the wheelaxle rotate smooth?

Err.. dogbone... not... dogboner
