I have ran my B5m with both gear and ball diff, ball diff deffo better feel and more controllable but I always struggle with them and forever rebuilding and replacing balls, I can't make them last for some reason, then noticed how free the ball diff was compared to the gear diff, tried lots of different diff oils but they all seem so gloopy and thick, so out of a moment of madness I stripped my gear diff and filled with 30wt shock oil( yes very strange ) but now feels and handles exactly the same as a ball diff but no worries of slipping or turning the balls square, ran it on carpet and slippy gym floor and works perfectly so gonna stick with it for a while but looking good so far ........ Have ordered some new ceramic balls for yet another diff rebuild to have incase I feel like a change lol
