Good points yakfish, but 1.) brushless will also destroy diffs and drivetrains - even moreso.., and 2.) Losi diffs a.) are very, very tough and reliable, and never need work, and 2.) they are actually extremely accessible.. Just did one last weekend.. Was surprised how easy it was to get out...(Gears and housings and everything were fine btw.. Just two years old, so the bearings needed replacing...

Yeh, a high quality high voltage brushless setup is hard on drivetrains, that's what you get when you triple the torque compared to nitro. Fun though, it still raises the hairs on the back of my neck when I'm rolling along at 50mph and gun it and hold the wheelie with everyone around me staring in wonder and awe at the speed, power and control (haha, I know it's not difficult, but hey, it looks really impressive
). My truggy used to bring the bashspot to a standstill, literally.
