I changed back to ball diff after trying the gear diff with 5000 wt. I used the stock balls,,, I know,,, thinkin they wouldnt last. Ive gotten 4 race days with them and they still feel good. And i didnt even break in the diff.. Im going to use ceramic balls next rebuild. Ive been using ceramic balls on my 22, and gotten at least 8 race days out of them without a rebuild. Still feels good. But i know it needs cleaned. Ive been building ball diffs for 20+ years, so i know what im talikn about!

I for one bougth the 22T for the purpose of using a gear Diff. Much consistent ( for me ) and doesnt requires that of a maintenance as compared to a Ball diff... just need the correct gear Oil though... its the leave it and forget it ... hahahah...

Set it and forget it and "Kiss"(keep ot simple stupid) come into play and make things a whole lot more enjoyable imo!

It's all about setup between slipper and diff screw. I have seen guys ask why there brand new diff feels gritty, only to find they have the diff screw snugged down.

I prefer the B-Fast unit for my ball diff, they are always butter smooth and last 10+ race days. (with break in)

But if you guys want to go to a hassle free gear diff and have less then Top notch performance. Go for it.

Ive used 1300 and 2000 in an sc10 and it was pretty dialed on our club track...doesnt hurt to try a gear diff especially when its free other than a few minutes of wrenchin swappin them around...
And every associated ball diff ive felt now was 100% dialed!! Losi's not so much...says either losi's are pretty #&itty or people who run losis are dumba$$'s kinda, rite...i love the 22t platform i gotta say though! Its pretty sick! Tough and thoughtout also...id like to try a bfast also, more for the extremely flat plates than the balls but all is good

There is nothing wrong with the stock Losi ball diffs.

I've been driving on stock diffs since day one without issue. It's all in the build and break in. They don't tolerate abuse well, but honestly, what ball diff does?
