Ahhh, dude I'm sorry I missed the Mini-Z part. I'm bummed now. I could see how a ball diff would be feasible, and even help steering in high traction situations.

The chassis is so imprecise that stuff like a ball diff probably wouldn't perform any better than the OEM parts.

I whole-heartedly agree, but I think the R/C hobby is all about excess, and that's what makes it fun. Even in 1/10th scale you know that the graphite chassis isn't going to win the race for you, but you have to it anyways, because it's there, and it's cool.

I can understand where you're coming from.
I never could justify spending the cash on regular RC stuff.
I'm 36 now, and the low cost of these little cars means that EVERYONE can play now, it's great!

Exactly! That's precisely where I'm at. After investing over a grand in my Losi XXT, and then spending another 500-600 bucks on a 2-speed RC10 DS destined to break 50mph (and I'm pretty sure it did), I just couldn't justify it anymore, sold it all, and bought another guitar. I had been missing the R/C hobby, and there let's me connect on a much smaller level. Heck, I haven't even spent a 100 bucks yet, and my third car is in the mail.

Holy crap you quoted Abby Hoffman in your signature?

Yeah, I just watched "Steal This Movie" the other day, and had that line stuck in my head. Good line.
