Ball diffs are typically lighter than a gear diff and have less rotating weight generally speaking. So they can have a competitive advantage. But, the gear diffs are much less maintenance and more consistent. Honestly, in an offroad truck with those big old tires, I wouldn't even consider a ball diff, the rotating weight and diameter of the tires far exceeds that of the diff. I run dirt oval and have a SC10 diff in my car which would benfit from the lighter rotating weight of a ball diff, but when I hear all the other ball diff cars slipping on acceleration, I'll take the gear diff any day. Been running it for 6 months and haven't even look at it yet. I would have ate up 10 ball diffs in that time and wore out the screws in the tranny servicing it.Butch

I'll explain for you. This goes for all RC cars. If the car comes with a gear diff, then a ball diff is faster. If the car comes with a ball diff, then a gear diff is faster. All of that becomes irrelavent when the "fast guy" keeps winning. Then what ever he is running is faster.
Withdrawal is a b*tch
