I've been Googling but have come up with nada. 
Not referring to front one ways or solid axles, just standard diffs.  |
I found the gear diffs worked better on carpet (and I have no explanation as toi why). It just made the car more driveable on high grip surfaces such as the grey carpet and also at Ellesmere ports canvas. I couldnt fathom why and neither could a lot of people including the then team Yokomo manager Brian Duggan (I think that was his name, its been a while).
Ball diffs as stated are lighter and have more settings available than gear, and as every one nowadays has ball diffs I think that you should follow that route, but if you have the chabce to try the gear then what have you got to loose.
