Ok i Know a Ball diff is great and is standard on the top line kits.

I have been racing since 85 when ball diffs were very limited to the best of the best as standard equipment.

I have been asking myself this question for a while now based on...

I think it also depends on how technical the track is. The gear diff is heavier which means more rotational mass. People spend quite a bit of money to lighten every part of the drivetrain. If you need a lot of quick throttle commands a gear diff...

So I've got an RC10GT with a stock ball diff. For some reason I've had bad luck with this diff over the years. It seems to slip under brushless power, and when I tighten it down to the point of not slipping, it gets crunchy fast and breaks the diff...

Dang I’m running a 4.5t Novak Velociti brushless on my stealth 2:25 with a fixed gear hub, am I on borrowed time with my RC10DS?

Runs great and super smooth.

I posted a couple years ago about having some issues with my RC10GT that I converted to brushless. It just would not put the power down. I drive mostly on the street just fooling around and that ball diff would inevitably chirp and get gritty after...

I am in the process of rebuilding an Egress runner and I am having trouble with the ball diffs. When I tighten the screws it binds in certain spots. It feels smooth all the way around but stiffens up in one area of the rotation. Because it is held...

I have not used it in my 4.1 yet, but hanging on to it for a spare. I am not used to ball diffs. Mine feels like it is adjusted to tight. When i spin one side it feels, not gritty but just not smooth like...

Hey gang,
I just rebuilt my stealth on my RC10T. I built it to spec etc. transmission is moving very smooth and quiet now.
As I was doing a final check to set my slipper clutch I noticed while holding both tires from spinning and giving short...
