I shredded the stock front diff and took the opportunity to drop in some upgrades.

AARMA Metal Input Gear ARA311153
AARMA Metal Diff Set ARA311155
The rest of the drivetrain is currently 3s blx stock. I got it back together and ran it with this configuration. Steering is night and day better and I’m not sure if it is the added weight up front but the truck handles much better in loose sandy soil.
I realize most people would put the metal diff in the rear and I’m planning next steps.. so..
I have a new spur on hand.

1. Would you buy the same diff set for the rear or is there a better option?
2. How many slipper pads should I install with this spur? (I’ve seen conflicting views here, 3 or 4?)
3. Would you upgrade the driveshafts? If so.. to what?
Goals:
I don’t beat on this vehicle.. I prefer tuning and handling performance over altitude, wrecks and speed runs.
I also have a Mojave 4s that I haven’t ran yet.. It would be handy to get this Senton 4s capable at some point as well.
Thanks for your opinions.
