In my experience Tamiya ball diffs are pretty good when it comes to maintenance. They don't typically require a lot of adjustment or re-lubrication after a few runs. But in saying that I do agree with going with a gear diff for absolute minimal maintenance and durability. I may swap the ball diff out of my Racing Fighter for the factory gear diff for that very reason.
Is it crazy fast brushless? I just used the torque tuned motor it came with. I built this for my 8 year old and its ok but for me id love it to go faster.
In a nutshell: yes, it's fast. Maybe a bit too much power - it lifts the front wheels effortlessly, and I can put it on its roof without much effort. I may actually swap the motor for a 15.5T. I think that would tame it down a bit while still being quick.
Great series. Enjoyable videos. Well done.
I had a ball diff in a Team Losi buggy around 2010 - it was high maintenance and so I built my DT03 with gear diffs :)
