Myself and M-Technic should be able to give a first hand report tonight. We bought a few diffs from Spec R, and they are due to show today.

I ran a gear diff in my Serpent S400. The diff suited me, and gives tremendous forward bite. I liked the consistency of the Diff, as well as the maintenance.

The problems we had with the diff... The belts kept on stripping, Sepent had to update their belts to accommodate the diff ( especially in Mod ). Leaking also was an issue, to get the seals in right , there was some hand fitting. I see the gears in this diff are plastic, hopefully that will not be the weak link.

Will report back...
