To be honest on a 2wd once you build a ball diff unless your a pro your not going to need to access it for months anyway once properly built. And when you do need to do maintenance on it well it's good to take everything out anyway so you can check and make sure everything else is good. I am an average Joe driver so only every couple of months I rebuild my diffs. If there smooth not gritty and car is working properly why do you need to keep replacing them. It's not like a 22-4 to get out diffs anyway, 5 minutes about 10 screws and it's out. All part of the hobby. JMO

If you only drive on tracks that require a ball diff, that’s a fair argument - but if you’re a traveling racer, or someone who races on surfaces requiring the gear diff, then I’d say the feature is appreciated. There’s a reason pretty much everyone else has adopted the feature. The difference between 5-10 minutes and 1-3 is the amount of time you could be on the track testing your Setup changes on practice day.

absolutely in my local area we run carpet and then there is loose dirt and high bite clay and everything in between all in the same race series. Literally no reason at this point to not have it. Such an easy option to implement.

19 screws/nuts not counting your slipper, but does include removing the lower shock nuts. And popping off one bulk up. After building and driving A B74 I am really digging the quick access Differentials.

I can’t wait to drive mine. I just need to batten down the wiring, glue the tires I plan on using, and just throw a rattle can job on the kit body - I had commissioned a painter, but my order got delayed by the 22X-4, since I commissioned the two bodies together.

Don’t know If this has been mentioned before. I took my 22 5.0 out with all of the elite updates minus the new steel diff which is backordered until April. Has anyone successfully run 2 gear 7k with the composite diff gears? I’m asking because I need more rotation coming from the rear of the car. I run on a smallish super high grip grey Home Depot grey carpet. 4 gear was done but a tad bit lazy in rotating.

Moving the rear hub to the rear will usually free up the rear end

If you run the 22X-4 rear axle/bone it will free the back of the car up.
