Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades...

Thanks for the input. I did get carbon steel CVDs and center shafts as part of the deal, and the diff cups should be aluminum with the 3mm screws and upgraded gears, so I think I'm good there. I also have some UE idlers on the way from another auction. I'm hoping to be able to get a strobe slipper setup with spur and pinions from Mike when I'm ready to order the brushless motor and controller.

Sounds like you guys think I should go ahead and get the brushless even with the stock chassis. I figure I can always get a T-Maxx 3.3 wheelie bar until I can save up enough dosh to go Gorilla. As for L vs XL, am I correct in understanding the XL can will provide greater torque?

What about the play in the diff? The more I think about it, the more I think I'm just going to rebuild the diffs anyway so I can be sure that they're put together well. At least this way if they're not, I'll be the direct cause instead of it happening because I was too lazy to check!
