Anyone know if mad rat diff plates are the same as X2C?
Yes they are.

What problems do people have with the X2C gearbox. Do the idlers wear excessively? one or both of them.
The standard ones are ok, the nylon upgrade is fantastic I'd replace both.

What about the slipper, is it worth replacing the spur with B4 one, Direct replacement?
2 issues with std slipper 1. only 80T or 86 spur 2. Heat build up.
If you run mod then the 80T is perfect and I'd get the new vented slipper plates and the slipper is great then.

A little work and modification is needed to use the AE spurs/pads. The plates need to be machined down to fit the pads (inside the hex) and the AE spur is slightly narrower so u need to put shims between the gearbox casing (bearing) and the first plate. If you dont the spring bottoms out on the shart and you can't tighten the spring to make correct contact with the 2nd plate.
