I got this in a trade about 10 years ago for some pan car parts. I used to run it all the time. It's time for a rebuild. I swear heard it crying as I was taken it a part. LOL!

They weren't a standard item I don't think - I used to run them on the rear of mine though BITD, to lower the rotating weight of the transmission, the plastic outdrives and driveshafts were considerable lighter than their steel counterparts.

I like the idea of those sliders myself.

Shuey design love showing huh Jason?

I was torn between sliders or composite outdrives and aluminum loss bones on my X2 build. I got a set of aluminum bones, but going with the std outdrives as its what I was given..

Moving right along on those builds Ovalguy.

I really need a XX4 again...

Here is a little update. While going throught he rear diff I noticed the inner diff bearing had seized inside the gear. I triad prying it out and POP balls everywhere. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper. I have not had any luck locating one. Dosen't matter if it is a used one. I am going to check and see if it is used on other Losi cars or trucks.

should be a 5mmx8mm bearing. manual shows the same size for front and rear diff's, both bearings in each assembly are the same.
