I am also gonna give my center diff another go....I had originally only four of the pins in it along with all the balls ....but up front I had 30.000 diff oil.This time around I did not have seven to go down to but found 5000 for front and 10.000 for rear. I am going to try again cause the first time out with center diff....I almost saw no true difference.After reading many of the posts regarding the center diff....I realized I needed to go down in diff oil. The track I run at is a medium size indoor clay track with tons of traction.
Is that correct that you are running 5K up front and 10K in the rear Or did you mean 10K up front and 5K in the rear? In general, 5K in the rear seems like a very popular setting. 10K isn't bad up front, though 7K or even 5K up front you may like better.
When the traction is really high, you may not see too much of a difference when set right between the center diff and a clutch basket setup like the MTK one or VTS setup. On carpet I was running 8 pins and really liked it. You may find 6 pins a good starting point.
As for that ESC, I have heard the same thing, heck, I have one of the older Sphere competitions TC spec sitting here that if anyone wants feel free to pm me.
Some recent experience by an owner here with the center diff for those curious about it:

I complemented it with the Exotech metal chassis (for the LOSIs) and TenShock 5200Kv 550 can 4-pole motor (to keep things moving), and the truck is really impressive. Marcus, thank you for putting your time and energy into this, it is a pretty ingenious solution. I already recommended this to more of my friends and will to anyone with an SC10 4WD-this mod is a no-brainer!!! I wish the truck came like this out of the box. Thank you for a Great Product.
