I broke 3 diffs on my little E-Revo in the first week. Then I installed a mid diff, shimmed the axle diffs, geared down it a bit and adjusted the slippery clutch and never broke a diff again. This little RC makes so much fun and need so much less space to drive properly. Thanks for your vid. You did some crazy jumps ;)

I Love the Mini eRevo! Me and my Son have the brushed Version each! My Tip for the Differential Issue (We broke about 6-7 before we did that): Get Some Aluminum Skid Plates, for the front an back! The Differential housing on this one is a 2-piece Plastik housing, which spreads out on every landing and gives to much gap, so the Gears easily can worn out. Shimming can help also, but with a solid "cap" on the differential housing we had no more broken diffs anymore! Greetings from Germany!
