Geared for a conservative 37 MPH (16/44 pinion/spur) with HPI bulletproof diffs. I know the 1520 has alot of power, but I didn't think it had THAT much.... Any suggestions? I think I am going to have to go with FLM bulkheads and HB diffs to solve the diff shredding issue, unless someone can clue me in on a good fix for this?

Sorry to hijack the thread, I am just amazed at how many people are running 1717's and 1520's in XL's without issues with the diffs or trans, yet I've shredded it all in 2 runs.
Wow! you actually managed to kill the flux diffs. Never heard anyone managed to break the 9/29 diffs- bevel and pinion gear.. the internal are not that strong.
