Default RE: Ball Diff vs. VXL Diff for Rustler?


ORIGINAL: Banzai240

I'm building up a Rustler for thrashing, and possibly some local racing, and was wondering what most people use for diffs? I was considering getting an adjustable Ball diff, but was also looking at the steel geared planetary diff from the VXL...

Which would be preferred and are there any other options to consider?

Thanks,
the ball diff isnt good for thrashing. only good for racing. and as mentioned, it wont work with the power of a brushless motor.
you can put thick grease in the VXL diff to help it not "unload" as easy. but the vxl diff is very strong and holds up well to bashing and brushless power. plus, it only costs about $15 on ebay.
