Her birthday is on the 20th but we're celebrating on the 28th or sometime around there. So it should be done by then and I'll have a test run sometime before.

I used the long shafts because they're easy to cut down and are good spares for any shaft on her E-Revo or my Revo.

Those braces actually keep the rear end from flexing. The one with the screws matters most since it is actually keeping the two front halves of the bulkhead in place. You could leave them out, but I won't. In my opinion, it will only be a matter of time before you hear some clicks and moans coming from your rear end. I've had a 2.5R, a big block, and now a TZ-TX in my Revo and the rear end is still in good shape. I just took the rear diff apart, cleaned, lubed, and threw it all back together. Everything looked great and as long as I take care of it and keep the slipper properly adjusted it will be fine. Same thing for a brushless truck, keep that area braced and you should see a good life span out of the rear diff. If you start blowing ring gears, try a aluminum cup and shim it well.
