the 4.4 x 2.0 o rings helped with the diff that is known to leak. mine was dry for about a month or a little more with the 4.4 o rings. it has started leaking again, but does not leak as fast or as much as the stock o rings. I'm going to try some silicone the next time I have the diff apart.
Shocks are still good after several months. No squeaks and silky smooooth since the Losi bladders. Amazing what a good bladder will do.
I have gone to the silicone glue for the output shaft o rings and the results are good. I have a rear and front diff in both cars with no leaks. I cut a Q-Tip in half and pull it through the o ring and housing to clean out the silicone after gluing. Diff housing must be completely clean and glue must be dry before reassembly. I doubt if the front diffs would leak even without o rings using that 500k grease.
Thinking about playing at the track today. Pat just posted that he is opening because of only a level 1 snow emergency. It's very light snow for now so the road crews can keep up.
