Must Have Diff
Great Diff and totally necessary if you’re using nylon gears in your transmission and planning a 3S lipo upgrade.

8s? No Sweat
Solid product, no issues on my 8s setup with rustler/slash/bandit/stampede dragster. Had to swap the oem one bc it was too loose. Even with full launches it takes the abuse. Running above 3s? Def use lots of grease, and get a sealed diff case, then add low viscosity shock oil (like 10wt). Only problem was once it sent power to the left wheel only, causing a 170mph crash on my custom car... But hey, that's what happens with stock parts, lasted over 100 runs tho!

Perfect Replacement
Awesome for beginners. It can take a beating more than people think. Never had issues with the first one, lasted me 4 years. Ran a bunch of 3S packs and hit 56mph. Got a new one just to refresh it. But now, I'm gonna get a 272R and go more aggressive.
