The diff in the car if the diff is to LOCKED Feeling it will cause both the wheels to have a Posi feel and when in a turn the outside wheel is spinning the same speed as the inside wheel which will make the truck not turn sharp and push.
You have to find the right balance with the diff to get the proper traction and turning.
Here's how a proper diff should work in a turn. While turning the inside wheel will spin slower because it doesn't have to travel as far as the outside wheel, The outside wheel has to travel farther and faster then the inside wheel.
So if the diff has more of a Posi feel and there both spinning the same speed it wont handle well turning but you still want it to have enough of a Posi Feel to hook up and get the power to the ground.
Start with 3000ct Losi Diff Silicone if its a gear diff and a high bite track. If its loose and dusty and low traction. I mix 3000ct.and 5000ct to get almost a 4000ct. Anything over 5000ct will make the truck have to much Posi feel and push in turns. I would recommend starting with 3000ct and adjusting your slipper to give you the right balance of traction.
Also playing with the camber links will give you better steering either entering the turn or mid to exit steering which is good, depending how you set them up making them longer or shorter will also make the truck more stable.
Good advice. I've just ordered a bottle of 3k and 5k fluid to tune my gear diff. I'm intent on bucking the ball diff.
