RE: rear diff drive cups
Well, Blue beat me to the drive cup advice, but I wanted to let you know one of mine fell off yesterday! Fortunately I noticed there was a problem when my truck wasn't hooking up and spinning the front wheels like crazy. I picked it up to take a closer look and the rear diff cup and rear driveshaft/dogbone were just sitting there between the engine and throttle/brake servo. Luckily I didn't lose either of them and the set screw was still in. I fixed it in like 10 min. without even taking anything apart! LocTite is a Nitro R/C's best friend...
