With all the discussion going on about ball diffs, I thought I would add a little info discovered in building my m05. I recently bought the Tamiya 54194 m05 ball diff, appearantly this is a new part offered by Tamiya. This one is built with aluminum outdrives already dialed to accept, and includes the 416 blades and thrust bearing. I did change the diff screw to the 416($5) one due to the kit T nut being plastic vs. the 416 metal one. The only modification needed was on the screw side of the diff, I had to add a short piece of fuel tubing to keep the dogbone in the outer axle. This setup is really nice, adjustable with the removal of the upper link like any TC and it is still TCS legal.
**I forgot to mention the included Tamiya TUE-104BK esc has low voltage cutoff for lipos.
