We have had a 40/60 split of customers wanting to just build the diff "once" and never see it again (thats the 40%) and if that suits them what is wrong with that?

Early indications form Losi were that it was not even going to be a sealed unit when it arrived which would have meant grease only but as it turns out they deciedd to make it sealed.
if they dont want control ove how it handles then fine.

but if they want a solution where they can put it in and leave it then losi is not the way to go. certainly not when it comes to their diffs! every losi gear diff i have had cooks whatever is in it within 10 minutes.

I used to have 4 sets of diffs for race days. even the 3 for 5 minute qualies were black inside after just 5 minutes.
