I had a race with this car today and all I can say is WOW!! The car is superb.

I detest the way the gear diff'd car drove, I have never been able to find a nuetral balance for the car, it seems to be understeering or ovrsteering or wheelying or endo'ing. I always felt the gear diffs make the car so nervous and on the edge that I wasn't able to relax driving the car.

The ball diff car is so easy to push and drive quickly. The car stays flat and level across bumps and through corners, the rear of the car still feels a little skittish due to the 50/50 weight distribution but with the ball diffs in the car soaks it up and the rear end happily follows along behind the front. The car still has its awesome steering feel but at no point did the car bite itself in the arse or pitch itself into any crazyness and I had no need to put any panicie inputs into the sticks at all.

I ran the car back to back with my usual 4wd in qually today and went a full 12 seconds faster on the very first outing with the 410 'Balders Edition'
