Ball Diff or Gear Diff for the B4?
#1

Hey all,
So I accidentally bought a gear diff transmission case for my B4, which obviously doesn't fit with the existing ball diff gear I have. To be honest, I hate messing around with ball diffs. I was just wondering how many people out there are running gear diffs in their various reincarnations of a B4, and how they find it? I have 2 B4's so perhaps it would be a good idea for me to have one with a gear diff and the other with a ball diff?
Welcome peoples thoughts, thanks heaps

I run mine with either 3000wt diff fluid or grease depending on track conditions. Put it in and see how you like it, I actually prefer it over the ball diff.

low traction dirt = balldiff
high traction dirt or astro or carpet = geardiff

I do the opposite others do.
I run a gear diff outside on big 8th scale tracks, and ball diff inside.
Both work really well. If I had a choice thou id run a ball diff.
The ball diff seems more tunable than a gear diff. Loose dirt I like to run a gear diff over a ball diff.
