stock diffs are best. the other ones are a waste of money and take more maintenance and takes power away... changing diff oil is what 99% of people do, the other 1% change the diffs but IMHO its just to much money for little to no advantage.... what buggy you have? and why are you wanting to change diffs?

i run 10K in the center because i like the fronts to bite, 2K in the front and 5K in the back. i like to over-steer more than understeer.
i just got a OFNA "super torsen" center and have yet to try it out, i hope it helps with off-power turns.
i got the diff for $40 so if it was any more, i would stick with the reliable viscus stock one. im just hope its better on tires, because the jammin engine likes to eat them.

Hi Markymark, shim your differentials nice and snug so they dont move around the diff case.
You can get all different size shims at your local hobby shop so you can do the job your self.
You'll find a PDF for your buggy if you type the make and model in YAHOO. Try MBX5 PDF and see what you come up with.
Hope this helps a bit.[8D]
