doriftu,

I am very happy with the way the new steering works and the ball diff is a gem. I initially set the ball diff not tight enough and lost drive out of the corners.

After some discussion with others I tightened the ball diff and my car was so much better. I wish that I had adjusted the diff before the final, as the car was much quicker and had better drive into and out of the corners.

I must say that it is way better than the old TAO3 ball diff. The best part is you can undo the bottom hinge screw that holds the c hub and lower arm together, pivot out of the way and adjust the diff.

The only deviation I made was to use the Tamiya 3mm carbide diff balls.

Regards,

Calvin.
