They either have the slot flog out were the pin sits or they just strip the side gear, 2 x 5min runs and that’s it, I can get a ball diff to do that.
Spec-R need to make some steel gears and fix the slop in cases were the out drives go in, on the Mi4 diff anyway, I checked a Tamiya diff and they did not wobble as much.

i ran 4.5t with boost too and mine doesnt fail on me...need to shim properly and also use alittle thicker oil ..around 1k-2k...
put yokomo thick grease around the o-ring..it's can stop leaking for 1 race meeting and u need to service the ring and put in some grease again afterward.....
