LOSA3039 CR diff rings and shims
LOSA2908 Monster diff spring and screw set
The whole thing builds together as per the XXX-CR manual as found online, very very easy to build and the diff operation is silky smooth. The only change from this manual, is that I have needed to use the shims aswell as the copper rings - as I had a little side to side slop to shim out.
The reason for this, is I dislike the Losi steel diffs pre-CR, this one is a big improvement, so now I have a fair comparison (steel vs plastic)

the XXXcr diff is good when wet or slippery but when the grip comes up you will have trouble with the diff as it's designed to slip, as I found out back in October at Kidderminster, you just loose all of the positive feel and acceleration out of corners.
I have now gone back to a steel diff in the back of my XX4.
