There will be a ball diff option for the D216

You can move the battery and servo quite a lot so if you need to move weight around for balance/grip you can.


I think ball diffs just drive different to geared rather than giving the car more actual traction, you can make geared work. At the EPR national this season I ran my hybrid with geared diff right from the first wet practice and that had more grip than anyone's car!

A ball diff will always have it's place though in certain track conditions and in the hands of some drivers
