Not sure if it is any different but I have a DT gear diff in my speed t and XXXT 7700 lipo mamba and have done nothing to it ever. You can put diff fluid in it as well and it will not leak. Had 7000w fluid in mine for 4 months. Best diffs I've ever had. Yes you have to use the DT cases. Excellent piece.

Great way to fund R & D- selling vehicles with glass transmissions!

If you want a car that has bad quality, horrible handling, and want to run crazy fast speeds and not even really "drive" the vehicle then get a Traxxas. If you want it to handle good, be good quality, and put oil in the diffs get a LOSI.

just my 2 cents but i have been looking at the high roller also. i have yet to find anything anywhere that losi has said that it would handle a brushless power. at $179 what do you expect.i think it is a nice looking ride that gives you 4wd at a very affordable price.

is there a chance to use the CRs gearbox? and therefore use the balldiff?.
i was so close to buy this truck today, but now when i read this...
My goal is, 2s lipo and a 4.5 orion motor...

Ball diffs are more finicky. On youtube, search losi xxx-cr and the first thing that comes up is a xxx-cr with a stock ball difff, running 4200 6 cell and novak 3.5R motor. Bascially, ball diffs are sensetive to the turn. Like 1 turn off could cause something to happen.
Im not sure about reccomending that combo, but I would say "be cautious on the throttle and loosen the slipper if you really need to."

We told all you guys before these trucks even came out, that the trannys would not be strong, but some went and bought them anyway!

Good now my speed t wont suck so much by having to repair it. Its rather funny that Losi didnt put these in their brushless offering from day one.
Say whatever you want about the Slash/VXL or Flux cars but their drivetrains are bulletproof, the same cannot be said for the DT/SpeedT/High Roller.
