Default Diff ball upgrade

Having heard my diffs after racing, i realise that a sensible mod is to upgrade (501x) lol.

What size of balls do i need? also do i need to upgrade the thrust race balls?

Any reccomendations?

Thanks.

Col.

The thrust balls are fine - don't worry about those. The best option for the main diff balls are something like the 3mm Ceramic balls from Kanzen Racing - these make a huge difference. We chewed up the diff plates badly before switching to the KANZEN ceramics on the 501X - so far it's been smooth and trouble free.

I'll second that Jimmy, its been soo much better with the ceramic balls in no need to tear the diff down every meeting.
