I have a gear diff in my box so I'll have to add some gears and fluid to try it out. The ball diff is so smooth when built right its hard to beat.
You are thinking of the droop screws.

Has anyone run the AE diff and cvd's? For stock racing, I was thinking of running the MIP puck system with the AE rear hubs, sorta like Jorn has done in the past, but its a lot of money to try it. I'm planning on going to Motorama, and don't know if the AE diff gear being 1 tooth smaller creates issues, or should I just stick with the gear diff?
I use all 4, to start I'll say I'm used to gear diff's with 1/8 scale being my original class. The gear diff to me is smooth and it's almost maintenance free and no worries about breaking in. I love as much set it and forget it as I can get,,, they stay consistent week after week after week. Ball diff is fine, they can be a pain to find a sweet spot but tbh you don't really ever "tune" a ball diff, they have very limited areas of operation too loose & bark then done; too tight gets gritty or worse and then it's worthless as well. Not that you can't win with one, just imo doesn't make me faster, no matter what track I was racing on. I will say for high bite tracks I for SURE want the gear diff, but again just an opinion.
I had the same problems with ball diffs before going to acer tungsten balls. I buy three sets to do two sets, and have two balls left over, oh well. I have done two sets now and the one on the desc210r is doing great. I forgot to tighten it after installation for a month, and it is fine now. You have to know when to tighten, and how much. You tighten slowly as you keep turning to keep it from binding during the initial break in, tighten then turn and keep doing so till it gets tight, then back off an 1/8 turn. After running it, check again for tightness.

Well I just took the buggy out of the box,
begun gluing some hot bodies High Beam rear tires for it.
The stock rear tires might work for outdoors, but i kinda doubt they will work indoors.
I found something I dont like about the car already. The rear pin that holds
the hex wheel hub thing in place to put the wheels on can fall out very easily.
But I think I know what to do to solve this. Is put a dab of fingernail polish on it.

Threadlock or locking hexes is the common options. Diff options for stock racing anyone?

Anyone have luck with the 3X1.6 and 3X1.7 pistons?
