My E-Revo diffs gave up the ghost about 12-15 packs in, rebuilt them with NovaRC aluminum cups and Robinson gears,outer aluminum diff cases also. That was 8 months ago and at 90 something runs later and still quiet and slop free. Changed all arms and axle carriers to RPM but retained Plastic shafts,replacment is super cheap via Ebay and only done it twice since diff rebuild. Plastic sliders definitely better with RPM arms due to major flex,still better than break or bend. I'm using Lundsford links for everything,bent a couple but the rebend back to perfect w/a hammer and vise. Shock ends and link ends are to be expected, again cheap and easy fix once in a while. I beat the hell out of mine with a 1515 1Y and a M.M.M. and (2)2s-8000mah TrueRC 20C packs geared 15/68 w/7" tires,45-55 minutes runs,no fan and motor temps top out at 120F in Florida, awesome.
Set up is 50wt Oil with silver springs F&R. I enjoy driving my revo very much, it's a "refined" Monster truck with big capabilities on the track, but I still like my LST2's for sheer crush-a-lation.
One of these days I'm gonna finish my 3.3 conversion and chase some truggys.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
