Looking forward to trying it tho.
What concerns? high traction stressing the gears?
I'm still on the kit gears, had no issues at all running carpet and slippy gym floors with minipins. I've just built up a new diff for easy swapping and testing of oils. built this with he new upgraded gear. not noticed any difference in them, but the kit ones have seemed fine to me.
I have recently loosened my slipper. It was set at 6mm when i built the kit, but i just loosened it one full turn. I've not noticed any difference in the slip, which makes me think i'll try it another full turn next time out.

One of my racing buddies keeps popping rear diff outdrives, even with upstop limiters added. I've not had a problem though.
