I've been using the same set of 9 ceramic balls in my parking lot racer 415 (exposed diffs) for over 2 years (no idea how long they were used before that). Every time I rebuild the diffs (replace and/or sand the rings), the diffs are as smooth as can be.

Other than being the correct size (which there is no way to confirm), and the correct tolerance (which there is no way to confirm), there is really nothing more to say about a ceramic ball. The writeup simply boils down to one fact: Ghost RC sells Ceramic diff balls.

BTW: There are cons to everything. In case of ceramic balls, it's usually the price point. They are not always for everyone.

Would you be happier, if the review did NOT state what manufacturers balls they were, if it only said "Ceramic Diff Ball Review"? Or would you be happier, if they did not review the effect of ceramic diff balls at all?
