I don't want to say its absolutely necessary but the brass kickup and rear swaybar are IMO integral to proper setup on high bite carpet to get the most out of the car. I was running my 17 for a while with nor brass kickup and had to run the 1.3mm rear swaybar to get it to turn. Now on my 18 I run the front brass kickup and a 1.0 rear swaybar... FYI my car is at 1602 grams.

You're welcome. If you have't tried this setup, I'd highly recommend it as a starting place for setup.

Guys? Is this how a healthy ball dif looks inside? It's from a guy that ran ridiculously tight slipper and ball diff on carpet. Diff barked af, but Im not sure how these things looks when new. There's no grease in it.

Thanks for answering, it looks destroyed, but I ve never used ball diff before. So guys, this is what your ball diif looks like after just one carpet race with messed up setup :-D

Friend says it's from brand new kit like a week old and that the manual says the diff is ready to race and comes pre-assembled. So everyone, really re-assemble and grease your ball diff before assembling the car.

Why are you using a ball diff on carpet anyways? Ball diffs are very tricky to get right and if not used properly they will damage themselves. As soon as it started to bark, it's time to get it apart and keep it from getting damaged. If you have any questions about anything on your car please don't hesitate to ask. There are a few of the team drivers that monitor this thread and are more than willing to help.
