I figured they'd use heavy duty, expensive pinions. But doesn't Robinson Racing or someone make a better slipper than stock for the Maxx, since it should fit the other Traxxas vehicles.

MetalMan - check 4 posts higher - been using the the Carbide balls for years now & never use Traxxas spurs on the Rusty/Pede. That was the point of my post above, they had worn flat spots causing the slipper not to work, thus eating my metal planetary/plastic diff gears when I applied the brakes. So I put new in carbide today, locked the broken diff, & all is well.

edit: Robinson Racing Double Disc slipper seems like an option. The kit comes with a 72T spur, but they make a 78T for it, close enough if it'll fit & if it's actually better than carbide balls, anyone know if it's better?
