I only came back to racing last year and have used a variety of 2nd hand car since my return, in each case I have stripped down the cars and cleaned, rebuilt etc, but I still don't really know how to set them up so I actually have no idea how a good set up should feel - as I pointed out to someone recently, the last 2wd car I drove was a tamiya frog, so in comparison, everything feels good.

Hi Chris,
I've got a YZ-2 and I've only run a ball diff in it so far.
I raced at worksop yesterday and a guy in my race had the same car and was using the gear diff. He was really struggling so switched to a ball diff and found the car much easier to drive.
