Hehe...slightly sweeping statement!!!

Whilst some of the worlds best may be driving gear diffs...in 1/10th offroad there are certainly a lot of the top guys who are still on Ball diffs! The 2 UK National winners from 2010 are both driving ball diffs, and will be again in 2011 as far as I know!

Sponsored drives aside , the top guys could drive any style of diff and make it look like the best thing since sliced bread!!!

I'm really interested to hear this talked about...from an average driver point of view the gear diff looks like a good idea. But from what I'm hearing...only from a building/maintenance/reliability point of view!

I'm really interested in running a durango for myself to see if I can tell the difference, so Razers comments on the lack of consistent driving feel are very interesting!

Good discussion
