Yorkie:

If you race stock, your best bet should grab some plastic CVD's and try to do the transmission as light as possible (less weight = less inertia).

If you put some 'shiny' CVD's you ruin all the advantages from the transmission of the TC3 putting weight on the transmission.

The power of your stock motor is very limited and every gram that you need to accelerate and brake is power lost to the wheels.
