I made some mods to the gear diff and it still torque steers pretty hard so I bit the $30 bullet and bought the ball diff tonight. Man what a difference. The car felt smoother, looked smoother, and with the right setting no more torque steer. Having absolutely no idea what to do with this diff I still equaled my best lap times with the gear diff. Consistency was a little off but it wasn't my best driving night and like I said I have no idea what I'm doing with this new diff. I guarantee that I will get just as consistent, increase my smoothness and lower my lap times with the ball diff. Tuning is a breeze. Pull one tire pop the camber link slide out the axle and give a small twist with a screwdriver. Diff tuning in under 2 minutes. By the way the ball diff is 3 grams lighter than the gear diff with aluminum cups.

bye bye gear diff. I may put one of these in my vta car next.
