Now, a nice set of carbides natually grip the metal diff rings. So you can run the differ looser (not loose, just looser than with ceramics), and it will still grab. This gives you a better range when tuning how tight you run your diff. Want more rotation? back the diff off a smidge... want less rotation? tighten it up a smidge. The carbides put you right in the middle of that sweet spot.
That being said, ceramics work fine in other cars, like the B4.

In short, the ceramic balls are too slippery smooth. They just don't work well with how the kyosho 1/10th diffs are engineered. In order to keep the diff from barking/slipping with ceramics, you have to crank the diff WAY too tight, which really hinders rotation.. the diff will feel aweful.

Any tips for shaving weight for stock? I am 50 grams over and have done everything I could think of: titanium screws and ball studs, back to the plastic rear hubs, slipper eliminator, lightened pinion, delrin pivot balls.
I have a set of small bore velvets, thinking thats my next step.

Your making me crazy. One of the best things about this car is the big bore shocks. Kyosho shocks are so incredibly good.
The extreme focus on shaving weight is misguided. Work on driving, car setup, motor/battery/gearing, and tires. If you think shaving another 50 grams will make you the fastest your wrong.
