Update:
So I got the atomic chassis reinforcement plates for both my buggies - looks like they will work nicely!

Switched the pinion to the 15T from the 13T in search for more speed.

However, on my Lazer, at some point my rear differential was getting sticky - I opened up the diff and those tiny 3 spider gears were all missing teeth. I checked the bearings and none of them seemed to be binding.

I ordered the optional ball diff (part# MBW028) - is this supposed to be better (stronger) than the stock rear diff?
Is a ball diff supposed to act like a limited slip diff whereas the stock differential was basically an open diff?
Is grease required - and if so is white lithium grease ok like I use on my traxxas vehicles?
Any other tips when switching over to the ball diff? I see that it comes with a few metal plates - what are those for and do I need to do anything to them like sanding?
Is the other aluminum diff (part#MDW018) worth $50?


Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thx!
