I just got one of them chassis it amazing but has anyone had any problems with the idle gear cause its a little heavier plus i have the ball diff. Jujj

I think AE bet on the wrong horse for solving the slipper issue. (no offense MTK!)

would front and rear sway bars be needed?

The decoupled slipper biases torque (by slipping) to the wheels with the most weight transferred to them (wheelies on hard acceleration).
The Mantisworks V1 ball diff worked is to bias torque the opposite way by putting maximum torque to the axle with the least weight transferred to it (ballons the front tires under hard acceleration).
The pin modification (coupled slipper) splits torque evenly and does not bias.
The Mantisworks V2 ball diff allows the user to change the number of pins to control how much you bias it to the front, which puts it somewhere between the pin mod and the V1 ball diff under power.

FT sway bar
Does anyone know the size of sway bar incl. in kit?
Thx! Color code is fine!

Sort of. The problem isn't the drivetrain, it's how you are describing the weight transfer. All those things you mention would work and be correct right up to the point where you have enough weight transfer to lift a tire (or tires). Once you do that, there is no more weight to transfer.

8 out of 10 trucks in the main at the Cactus are three diff trucks.

Are the steel bushed diff cases a running change or a whole new part number?
Looking to replace diffs on both mine and the kid's truck before outdoor season gets rolling...
