Man thats one good deal there for that 18MT with all that extra stuff.
All the RC18t's have ball diffs front and rear. FT version has the carbide diff balls and Aluminum outdrive rings though. the Problem is not the Diffs though, Its the gears. There is a company that is going to make upgrade gears with an Aluminum pinion and delrin ring gear that should be alot better but I also think part of the problem is the soft plastic gear cases of the 18t deflecting with all the torque from the BL and opening up the mesh. I shimmed my diffs so the ring gear is tight on the pinion to help make them last longer. I may try out a couple lower aluminum diff cases and run stock diff gears to see if the gears last any longer.
Here is the link to the upgrade gear pre-order. hehe.. I'll let yall know how they are when I get them.
