Good to know, now which center diff should I get? I am guessing the spurs that come with the smart diffs are not interchangeable with the std losi spurs? I have looked on a few sites but none list the number of teeth...

I've been running the 46t Kyosho plastic spurs on all my BL's for some time now. I was hesitant to use one in the center position on the Muggy but now that I have, I'll never go back.They are a beautiful fit on the Smartdiffs and if you set your mesh right, they are nearly indestructible. The one in my buggy is more than 3 years old now. The main benefit is the quiet running you get from not hammering on your motor bearing with steel on steel contact.

I do use the 46t plastic spurs, mostly on 1/8 buggies. I may try it on the muggy, currently using a wide rrp 49t spur with a 15t pinion on my muggy. Going to a 46t spur will require a 14t pinion, but I have some floating around somewhere.

I may give the smart diff a try. I looked up the parts needed to convert a hd losi cup to a smart diff and it works out to about 62 shipped, and a new complete smart diff is 90 bucks shipped. I may just buy a complete diff, not much difference on the price and it comes complete.
