@ Dan thanks for the setup help sunday man! Hope to race her in 2 weeks time!
I ordered ceramic 1/8 balls to put with a standard kimborough spur 88 since the stock 3mm ones seem to not let plates touch the balls. On road guys still use ceramics in diff correct? For 2wd offroad its pretty hard to not get a chirpy diff with ceramics so I use regular tungsten bfast balls (best IMHO for offroad).
My Tamiya diff seems ok though not heavy. The best I have ever built is a durango diff with bfast balls (not such a fan of the car though), followed by kyosho , schumacher and TLR sorted in terms of smoothness. This one is between a kyosho and a schumacher I would say. Also found it weird the spur gear moves that much between the diff housings but its per spec. All in all love this car especially compared to 17.5 TC which feels too safe and connected until I crash
