then after running at bury it feels the same again.
so its time for another strip down and to purchase some new balls!

Also it may be worth to get some titanium turnbuckles. as i managed to snap one of the std ones on its first test, due to a awkward landing. I just used some of the lundsford B4 ones.
I think the RB5 diff-balls last much longer than those on the ZX5. I've been running my RB5 for about 2 months and the diff still feels smooth.

A good idea for the build: use Associated ball-diff grease instead of the stock one.
