My opinion, if you have no problem with traction, and simply want to pull out of a turn faster, the locker is good to go.
But if you have a traction problem, the ball diff really helps.
Maddog summed it up. The Exotek locked front clutch works similar to the old pinned topshaft mod most of us all were doing when the 1st gen SC10 4x4 came out. It puts power down to all 4. Bat outa hell acceleration. I have tried all 3 the pinned mod, RCShox center diff (V1 & currently V2) and recently gave the Exotek a spin on a friends SC10 4x4. The pinned mod and Exotek are great but limited. I have to say that I still like the V2 center diff as it is fully adjustable to your track conditions by simply changing the number of pins you run. Less pins will act more so like a slipper and the more pins a more locked feel. Again this is just my preference. My friend likes his VTS / Exotek combo
But looks like you already bought the Exotek so my suggestion is to go with the RCShox garodiscs pads on your VTS slipper. It'll never fade like stock pads. 1 set of garodiscs should last you a very long time.
