Argh
I didn't want to give my poor advice as I feel I didn't gave the gear diffs a fair test, but if you want it, here it goes :
B44 : I tried with the help of Olivier "The Brain" Langlet Durango diffs on my B44. I liked the adjustability, running stiffer diffs (specially front) helped to make the car less twitchy. Sadly the diffs leaked (solved now with Kyosho o-rings and good grease). As I fell in love with K-cars, I sold my B44 quickly. I sold the Langlet-made transmission to a mate (hey, I gave the money back to Olivier!) and he seems to like them on his B44.
CR2 : I built my car with the Desert Truck gear diff. Franckly I found the car bad, a bit twitchy on carpet and hopelessly understeery on slippy indoor floor. Again I sold the car quickly but I'm afraid all the problems came from the gear diff. It was also badly made with very soft outdrives, not something I would recommend to anyone.
So, to sum it up, I feel that to perform well and if you run on different kinds of tracks like me, gear diffs have to be tweaked to each track to perform best, so they actually give more work on the car, not less. They are also heavier and quite messy. I didn't feel they gave me any edge on track, so unless experience shows that a gear diff is faster, I will stick with ball diffs.
Wow, lots of english words for me
