Stock diff. The stock outdrive shaft is a bit too short to work with the Kyosho gear without a bit of work. I shaved down the 'shoulder' where the outdrive bearing sits on, so the bearing sits a little closer to the gear, then shortened the tube that the outdrive goes into, so it sticks out the other side far enough to get the cross pin through. A minor pain, but the Kyosho gears last so long, I MIGHT have to do this once a year. Worth it to have a MUCH quieter car and no pinion wear.

I'm scared to even pull 1/4 throttle on the bench. Just curious why so much tighter than others. In advance, all responses are greatly appreciated. The rest of the kit is entirely too beautiful to have a diff sound like this. Lol

Mine was tight had concerns but left per inserted instructions ran for 15 min drive train feel so much better everything will set into place don't worry about it.

Jay,
Running the wires straight up like that (vertical) on the batteries, does it fit under the body?

Looks good Bigjay! I see your transponder mounted to the back of the servo like the manuel but did you notice the designed spot for it under the radio tray. I thought that was a super trick spot for it!
