Yes, complete PRO4 front spool and bevel gear for the front. It is a few mm narrower than the Cup Racer diff so the dog bones aren't as deep into it but because the spool is metal it seems to have plenty to hold the dog bones in. For the rear I'm using the stock diff outdrive but am using the PRO4 bevel gear. The PRO4 bevel gears are very close tolerance against the pinion gear and diff cases but I've put 3 packs through my car and it all is running very smooth, if not better each run.

Who's turnbuckles are you using in the rear?

and did it help taking those "pins" out of the front suspension??
Not sure what car they were for but they are 3mm and about 20mm long.
For the pins I wanted to see if I could simplify the knuckle stops that came with the car so on one side I just bolted a m3 screw into the upper arm. Seems to work ok so I went ahead and put it on both sides. Note the steering plate on the knuckles are moved to the top side and flipped over to reduce most of the bump steer the car had before. Used tamiya ball end and cup to complete it so that it didn't rub the upper arm.
