I didn't have nylon but did have some TC body posts. I cut them down to fit between arms and no more mechanical lock. Thanks for suggestions everyone!

Help me decide F1 RC community. With the very limited time I get to go to the track (and gonna be a lot less in 9 months or so), it’s time to thin the herd. Not sure what’s worth keeping, as most of these will be shelf queen status. Here’s a rundown:
Xray X1 2016 spec
F104GP
F104X1 Blue
F104V2 Black
F103.5
F201
The X1 is a keeper. I’d like to hold on to one or two Tamiyas. But which one? They’re all in the narrow configuration, but I do have arms to switch to the wide versions, should I get the itch to run F102/F103 bodies, of which I have too many. That’s another story. Any suggestions?

Personally I would keep the wgp. If I wanted something to play with, the f201.

Finally got the chance to test the gear diff.
Read lots of stuff, some say Gear is faster, Some Balldiff.
Our track is a low grip, bumpy asphalt track. Had to clean the damn thing with a leaf blower so we got some nice consistent tracktime.
I build the geardiff with AE 47,5wt / 613cst. Recommendation was starting with 800cst, but the track is so low grip that the front swaybar needed to be taken out too.
What I can say:
I drove the exact time, both fastest laptimes were within 0,03s (fastest time were within 0,2s of the record time with the F1, which I drove yesterday with all new hudy tires). What I noticed:
> breaking feels a lot more consistent with the gear diff. The rear is defintity more stable and you wont loose the rear when making hard breakes
> entering fast corners feels better with the ball diff
> overall rear Grip (when accelerating out of corners especially) is a bit higher with the ball diff.
> a friend bent the gear diff shaft the first time he crashed (it looked bad, but the ball diff defintely can take a bigger beating)

Oh yes... it was raining at the PanCar Master in Lostallo (Swiss track and probably the biggest facility we've in Europe, as they cover from 1/10 to 1/8 to 1/5....)
