Well the fact that the rear diff blew so often shows me that it might have been the weak link in the drive train. And that LST XXL diff with the HD cup is well known to be very strong and dependable. The E-Revo tranny always came out shinning with no visible signs of wear. We will surely find out how the outcome will be and if that tranny will still perform as well because the truck is on its way to nitrostarter as we speak.

Maybe he will find if there was a problem that I over looked about the rear diff.

I have to agree, the revo tranny is amazing, especially for being plastic. Probably has something to do with the 1/2 inch wide contact pattern on all the gears.

My opinion also, and there are three gears in there, two are metal and the big one on the output shaft is plastic.

I didnt know that, i thought they were all plastic. I never had to tear mine appart so i wasnt sure. the tranny is the only thing i never had a problem with.
