My lovely and generous wife got me this Air Vac gadget. It actually works really well. Check out the bubbles in the 15K center diff.

How does the hardware of the Xray compare to the Tekno or Mugen? (E.g. towers) Feels like it is not as nice. But hard to say based on pics.

Curious if you will be able to tell the difference in the diff's with using the air vac machine or not. I just let mine sit but dang, that's a lot of air it pulled out of there. Can you use it on the shocks also?

When you say “hardware “ are you referring to nuts and screws? If so I think Xray hardware is not as strong as Tekno or mugen. Seems to be softer and easily stripped. I haven’t stripped any but the potential is there. All other parts are definitely beefier, especially the bulkheads and arms.

It’s actually made for shocks. I made my own diff holder out of a piece of lexan.
