You have been around long enough on these forums to know with a Maxx you need to go all in or not at all. Buy a Mugen or Losi truggy and lock the center diff put a monster body on and add monster tires. Or build a SERIOUS Maxx. Aluminum bulks, Center diff(locked or not), Aluminum chassis, 1/8th scale diffs. I will say I had an unlocked center diff with the 3.3 traxxas diffs once and gotten decent durability out of the diffs. The fact that the power goes away from the wheels with good traction helps the diffs.

Power has gotten cheap. I love it.

About RPM: I prefer FLM arms. The RPM truetrack are awesome! However NO driveshafts fit them. Your drive shafts will pop out unless you do some serious modification. FLM arms are soo strong in the front. I two RPM arms. After I got FLM arms I haven't had a break or a bend. I once hit the ground so hard on one corner that I broke one Pivot ball shaft and bent the other pivot ball shaft but the arm was as straight as a board. ALSO!! Aluminum arms with aluminum bulks save your hingepins. regular steel hinge pins are fine so long as you both aluminum bulks and arms. You want all of your aluminum to quality of course no GPM or integy.
