Thank you kind SirMines always the rear. I haven’t tried the vitavon cups yet tho, only the metal Arrma ones.
The metal cups it’s typically the screws that shear off.@Hammer Down do you mind sharing what parts of the diff failed? Thanks!
What the !!!The metal cups it’s typically the screws that shear off.
And the plastic cups crack into pieces.

I hear you bro. I’m not at peace unless I’m fixing or planning out upgrades.^^^ Oh it will. Bet on it.
Some say the Vitavons are keyed so the screws can't shear off. I am not 100% sure on this. Someone else may confirm this.
Just run your O8s as is. Learn it well. You will soon discover the weaknesses. Then pick and choose your battles one at a time. Some upgrade parts work better for some than others. We all drive differently.
Just to slam your new rig with all the $$alloy$$ possible, only because the next guy did gets costly.
And the O8s is rather heavy. At aprox. 30 pounds. The main issue with the 1/5 line IMHO. Easy with adding extra weight. Only as needed. Not just because...you can. I would focus on replacing the stocker servo with a true 1/5 scale servo. The RTR one is only a 1/6 servo. It is lame as many state. Focus on making the rig more driveable and handling better at first. Consider droop screws and sway bars perhaps. Focus on the wheel alignment etc. Out the box this needs attention. Also make sure your diff oils are not low. Factory underfills them. Make sure your gear mesh is tight and correct. That your Tires are Glued well with CA. Many times they are not. Tug in the tire beads and add CA where needed. Or you will eat these expensive tires faster.
Good luck.
