Also, are you running the diff with the main diff screw on the left hand side of the car? (left hand being the non drive side)
I always found them very reliable, and only ever ran ball diffs in my KF2. In my opinion they just feel nicer to dive, and offer more consistent grip.

Some really good stuff there thank you
I think I'm going to rebuild it pro diff spec, but rather than back it off 90 degrees once I feel the springs compress, I am going leave it like this. I think as soon as they start slipping, they're doomed, and in a race full of other cars you cannot hear it - just find it knackered at the end of the race...
I race on extremely grippy carpet, and with these modern torque-y motors, its really struggling to take the punishment.. :-s at least the standard diff..
4-5 race meetings between rebuilds - probably why I hate the things
