I think there are a couple of things going on here.
One is that I think the rear belt will rub a fair bit on the slipper plates if it is a bit slack (I have tightened my rear belt by one notch since the build and it is a lot better now). You can probably see the big black lines all over it.
Two is that I don't totally trust the small bits of screw that stick through the centre bulkhead and into the general area of the belts. I filed my screws down for this very reason.
I also share your general distrust of the kit diff halves. Seem fine on the bench but can then show signs of slipping during the race, will probably have to add some 501X diff halves to my next parts order.
