I always use new diff plates and new diff balls (1/8") every time. The grittiness is of course gone each time I build a new diff. But there is a kind of unsmooth feel to it each time. I just measured the depth of the balls' housing in the diff gear slots with a caliper.
To my surprise the depth is a little bit over 1/8". That is, the slots are deeper than the balls. I suspect that the diff plates are not fully riding on the balls and could lead to the problem I'm experiencing. I've rebuilt diffs on other cars many times. The Barracuda rear diff is just not as smooth as others. Has anyone had my problems?

.. but I do use ceramic diff balls on all of them and nitrate treated diff rings'
( a hook up that I have on my other hobby hooks me up with the service)

JDM: At a first glance, I don't know it's a 1/12 touring car!! Really don't know whether this will create a 1/12 touring trend...
