correct, its a ball diff straight off a zx5sp. All it needed was a 1mm thinner bearing. Mating with the original durango drive gear was the easiest option, if it fails I'll try mating with kyosho to kyosho.

I bet the car has loads more grip with ball diffs
good idea!

I'm betting that too.

I'm not going to bother getting an FS and putting a gear diff in, as I feel ball diffs in offroad will be superior, IMO.
