I am a little surprise that only 2 are used in their car.(apparently for weight purpose)

Regards,
I have not tried this. When gear diffs were first introduced there were some concerns with their weight. If I remember correctly they were introduced by Serpent at a time when the minimum weight was hard to achieve. So making them as light as possible made sense.

Now even with two gear diffs (one filled with putty) the minimum weight is easy to achieve and the additional rotating mass of these diffs does not seem to be a problem.

It will be posted today hopefully.

I'll post it as soon as I receive it. My guess is tomorrow.

I think the TC6 is a better value.

Very nice to run, a wee bit tailey coming out of the corners

Any fix for that?

basicly running stock setup
You can try slightly more toe-in. And make sure the slipper spool is TIGHT. Depending on the class you are racing, you can tone down the motor so that it does not spin the tires as easily.
