Check the wheel hex width thickness. Sometimes a poor designed car like NCT3 have their wheelhex are not wide enough to accept today tires rims. Look at the inside rim edges, are they touching the bearing on the rear upright ?
The NTC3 was NOT a poorly designed car..it did have its issues but poorly designed was not one of them..in the right hands they are still fast..obviously the people who you have watched did not know how to build a diff..I have never had diff problem.. and to be honest about it..any top racing .12's make the power that an .18 makes..and "supercharging" a 2 stroke motor doesn't work..your buddy can tell you that....It seems to me that maybe you should try some Yokomo rims and tires..maybe some takeoffs..
