What are most people running ball or gear diff? I have been using gear in all my 1/8ths (duh lol) so I am very confident with them, I have not played with a ball diff in many many years and am a bit intemidated by them

I hear the gear diffs dont require as much work and rebuilding which sounds real nice. Whats everyones takes.
This topic is constantly debated. I run a gear diff, but many people run ball diffs. I like the low maintenance of a gear diff, but it takes a good amount of messy experimenting to find the right weight fluid to run, and it's not really tunable when you're at the track.
