GSHobby has 1 or 2 center diffs in stock for the guys looking. Call 479-648-1994 I don't think they are on their website.

I don't grease the pins and outdrives. Only the cvd portion. Instructions don't state to grease them either. Am I suppose to? I'd imagine it would just fling off and/or attract dirt.

Sounds like you need to turn your current limiter and brakes down to me

NO.. The outdrives and pins suck.. turn down your brakes is a lame response for poor outdrives.

Look at a D413 to compare.. They show NO signs of use, after 5x the drive time. ..

So I came up with proline pro2 rear aluminum clamping hexes for the rear and scte hexes for the front. This give me stock xray width with 12mm associated wheels.
