Not possible with the C-Diff. Slower times? I could see that as a possibility, maybe it didn't match his driving style and he was faster with a slipper... sure, no problem.
But could not make any jump that a slipper could means it was not installed correctly or we are being told something that is not true.

Opposite for me, I started making the most difficult jump after changing to the C-Diff that I was not able to make without.

You have a poor argument as you still have not tried the part that you say does not work. Your opinion is flawed as you still have not tried the product and have not seen a good representation of it's performance.

Or as mantis said you lied... why? Don't know why you would lie about something that does not personally affect you or your finances, I dont know you and can not say if that was a lie but to say that the C-Diff made the truck not able to clear a "simple" jump just is not possible if assembled even close to correct. Even without the pins you would not have any issues clearing jumps. Maybe if the rcshox team driver forgot the balls? (left your balls at home when you came to compete? :lol:)

I know this because I reassembled after a teardown and installed the spur backwards so the pins were on the leading side, not the correct trailing side of the ball. That means that regardless of how many pins I had in it, zero were having any affect on the balls. I did notice the handling was different, but there was little to no difference on jumps.

A majority of the content here is opinion and everyone has a right to theirs, but I don't see how you can give an opinion on something that you have zero personal experience with. And you state it as a fact.

If you refuse to try a product and have no experience to base an opinion on, stop issuing opinions on it till you try it.

You say you have to steer everyone to VTS. That is not helping people on this forum as you are giving an uneducated guess. If someone says they tried C-Diff and don't like it, that is adding value to this thread because they have tried the part.

The saddles were sitting on top of a 3mm plate I had inside the chassis, I have removed all of that now and have the saddles sitting on the Alloy, with the plastic chassis out I have lowered the battery's and ESC by 5.5mm, with all the weight down low.

Not bad looking, let us know how it runs at a track. And if you don't mind asking what was the total cost to do this mod and if it works out well is it something you may make and sell per request?

stock form, 2866g. (stick pack front position, esc put to the front)
left/right weight distribution: 50/50
front/rear weight distribution: 45/55

to make it 50/50 front/rear. you will need 10% of the truck's weight,
that's 287g at the front wheel axle, not very possible.

Slipper or Ball diff isnt gonna fix a bad suspension setup. Just sayin. Thats why they allow you to change things on it to make it work for you. Lets get back to setups that work

But the diff fluids & slipper/center diff do affect the overall handling of your Truck, for the most the suspension set ups are pretty simple..let some else drive your SC and watch how it works (it does help to let someone who can wheel drive it)..after a while you can get it pretty spot on..I'm still workin on the diff/slipper set ups..but I'm gettin pretty close..

It is on the big sweeper of the track in between the tabletop and a banked corner leading onto a 150 ft back straight. Its essentially in the middle of a 3/4 oval all the way around the outside edge of the track so you hit it about as fast as your truck will go.

The day the Cain and I are talking about had 20 mph gusts that came at an angle across that part of the track from the outside of the lane to the inside...and we were jumping right into it. My MBX-6 Eco was affected by the wind that day...just a tough one for shortcourse all around.

I can wheel and dont need to have someone else drive my truck. The diff front and rear I understand also.
