hi there,
I going to strip down my XXXs and rebuild diffs, replace bearing etc. Does anyone know if there is a diff kit and ballraces kit for sale especially for the losi?

MIP used to do one many moons ago.. not sure if they still do, but losi diffs are essentially the same anyway.
you shouldn't really have to replace the berings in the diff? just the plates and thrust race is normally enough.

Not to mention you might not actually have to replace every ballrace. Take a very small hobby knife and strip the bearings down, take their shields off and clean them, properly. An old toothbrush and a can of wd40 works well. Chances are the car will be looser than it was from brand new.

Worked well for my car at least.. My car now rolls out the front door, down the road and buys my paper :P
