ran my RC8BE last weekend for first time with mugen gaskets and had to replace all 3 diffs after 1 practice run... luckily a friend had rebuild kits with him.. he went through same thing...
I know. I have them in my tool box from when everyone was claiming they were the "way to go", but I was skeptical. I wanted to see the application truly proven versus proven on the BENCH.
Glad I waited....I think the Yamabond will be a better bet.
