2 more questions on this topic. After watching the video and reading the youtube comments is this video just for the front and rear diff? second question, after trolling the Hot Racing website can some explain the Aluminum Differential Locker Spool, I need some clarification when you would install this.
Link to the spool?
Most of the guys running spools (in Arrma's) run them in place of the middle diff, and mostly for speed runs.

I only run mine on 6s
After doing so everything else sucks.
That being said, it is hard on the truck.
Get like.....3 extra pinions. No joke. If you buy arrma pinions, buy 5. They suck, I've broken teeth off of at least 4....my local shop doesn't keep 5mm Robinsons in stock so I have to order them.
And a 55 gallon drum of loctite.
Arrma sells a turnbuckle package (replaces all linkages that are plastic) that I keep in my run bag....
V3 has the good battery tray....so you won't sling 100 dollar batteries all over the place and puncture one like I did. Go ahead and orient the center tower cotter pins so the pointy end isn't towards your batteries bust for same measure.

Sounds like that part is probably not for me....
Any comments on whether or not there is a difference in the way each diff uses spacers? I’m going to tear mine apart soon and put spacers in all 3 but want to make sure I’m doing it correctly.

Just follow the video, and it will work.

don't worry about it. Jus take it out and bash it. don't blow a bunch of money on stuff u will probably wont need. Kratons are tanks. Inly issues ive had was caused by “upgraded” parts. Butttt. Lol with every rc ive owned. I always get a-arms and girilla tape or fubergkass the inside of the bodies. Plenty of batteries. Test it out first Ive had mine for 3 weeks. Only thing ive broken is the wing mount.
Get the outcast wheelie bar!! U will need that. Or ur wing will jus sand down
