Can you tell me if the ceramic silicon nitride diff bearings are better than standard ones. I run a ball diff in the front and rear of the car, do I need to put ceramics in both diffs ?
Thanks for your help.

will be better if u use ceramic ball diff....lesser maintenance than normal steel ball....

schumarcher diff grease is recommended too...

Hi kschu, thanks for the advice, I'll get some ordered up. I've currently got Kyosho diff grease and ball diff grease.

I wet sand the rings with 400 weight. This allows you to run the diff a little looser without slipping. Keep the diff smooth/maintained - this makes a huge difference..

If you study the rings you will see a big difference in how they wear when using ceramic balls verses steel balls. (Tungsten will do better than chrome steel but nothing is better than ceramic)
