I have found that the drive train does wear on this car if it is not given maximum love!!

After every meeting the diffs come apart and get cleaned and rebuilt, things to look for are as this car has slipper style diffs is excessive wear on the inner and outer faces of the diff races, if showing any signs of wear throw them out and replace, you can re polish the races but I dont think that it is worth it. You should get 5-6 meetings from the rings if you keep the diff in tip top condition. Also if you use the diff shields that should increase your diff life as well. And just to reinforce what Jimmy said get some decent ceramic diff balls, there is a very nice advertiser on this forum (KANZEN) who supply some very reasonable diff replacemtent ceramic diff balls which will increase the life of your diff.

The belt tension is a big thing on this car as it will chew belts and more importantly the centre pulleys that they ride on, I have had one go completely, this was after 10-12 meetings but it still went and nearly cost me the whole day. I would stock up on centre pulleys as they are difficult to get hold of at the moment, as they are used on the TA05 and 415MSX MRE and MSXX.
