If you really want a smooth diff check out this Website. I installed the rings and balls in my TC5 and followed the instructions supplied for breaking in the diff.
This produced the smoothest diff I have ever felt. And then even after a whole nights racing in modified on High Grip carpet the diff was still very smooth, certainly still better than a fresh standard diff built to the instructions.
I will only use BFast RC's products for my diffs from now on.
I know this sounds like a commercial for the guy(Fred) but the product is that good and I have no association with him what so ever and live on the other side of the world.

A few weeks ago I sold my two Xray T2's and bought a TC5. From the git-go the TC5 is about a lap faster than my xrays were ever. Could be how the car responds to my driving, but faster is faster.
Thier is one change I would suggest.
New battery Strap.
I am using a LiPO steel plate so my LiPO has to be upside down. I crafted a G10 piece to fill the voids of the nubs so the pack would not shift in a wreck.
To hold it all down I am just using 5/8 4-40 cap screws in the hold down block. The block has thread-inserts because the plastic likes to strip out.

A one-way in most cases will be harder to drive....a diff is the most durable...and a spool will make the car the most easy to drive for rubber tires...maybe try the spool and see how you like it...

As for Ass-Ending the car, maybe too much weight is transfering too fast. I had my LRP breaks at 4 and 4, but later changed it to 2 and 2 and car became predicitble with breaks on.
