You could get your lhs to order them for you. Cost may be higher but you won't have to deal with buying on the net.
To get on PayPal you'll have to have a checking account or a credit card, I think anyway.

I have almost all these in my favorites. I hate that they froze my account for about 6 months now and I have triple digit sums and I cant do anything about it. Never use PayPal again.

I would replace the cups and gears to last you about 6 weeks. The HPI release thier new diff sets with the X SS. They are all aluminum (cases), they have shims and hard gears aswell as aluminum squares. They will be much better (I hope) than the old ones.

bad luck??? u must be joking - i really dont think this has anythin to do with luck - i have 2 savage X's - both their diffs got blown 1 within a gallon's worth of running - the same happened with a mate of mine - we dont even jump of bash out trucks - when mine went - they both(front and rear) went at the same time while running it NOT even at speed and on a smooth surface

The Savage 25 had diff problems when it first came out too. It came with 2 gear diffs that tended to strip VERY easly. I put 4 gear diffs in mine and it's held up to my Mach .26 for a while now with the stock cups.
