I've heard of the MIP ball diff, but I don't want to throw $80 at it, this early....maybe early on.
Does this need ball bearings? any thing else that people feel are necessary?

Re-release Blackfoot doesn't ball bearing because i've bought one, all stock like the old blackfoot except it comes with ESC (brushed/brushless compatible), with traditional orbital gear diff, non-ford replica grill. no ford embossed at the back or front and fictional sponsor branding on its decal/sticker sheet. Yes the stock diff have random clicking sound but oddly my re-re monster bettle doesn't have it.
Here's mine in action:
