If you go to the line and it slips it's not a 2 second job to nip it up. If you stick with the gear diffs then it'll be fine.
The other thing you need is front alloy gearbox tops if you don't run the shock tower savers the tower digs in and snaps the top.
I borrowed a lads for Worksop, it felt good though and I was flying with it but it wasn't enough to make me buy one considering the amount of extras on it.
The XB4 seems like a solid car and look like they go well as I haven't driven one I can't comment but they're expensive for spares (they don't sell wishbones in pairs).
What about Yokomo? It's a cracking piece of kit and doesn't need money thrown at it out of the box. The only thing that you need extra is shock pistons and the HD rear roll bar kit. They're easy to drive and you go round thinking like you've had a poor run because it felt like you were driving like Miss Daisy until you check the times.

News to me most of the team run gear diffs, in the aero, the plastic tops do break if your unlucky and they are xheaper than a shock tower. You say xray don't sell arms seperatly, same for schumacher....as for not lasting long the ball riffs, if you build em correctly they last for ages, my k1 and sv2 did all of last years wrksop meeting without one rebuild.and not even touched. I have fun all the Oople series and invernational on gear diffs, the fact you have ball riffs if you need them is a plus to me.
