I will have to dig through my old notes from earlier last season to see if I have kept some of them as we don't run the current 2WD anymore, but we have done several rounds last year on dirt (as you can see in the pictures) and at least 1 round + the National Championship was on wet astro (sand filled).
Shortening the rear arms (to move them forward) and running a ball diff (with carbide balls and glued diff rings) helps a lot especially on a bumpy track.
The traction with a properly setup ball diff is night and day on a bumpy track compared to a gear diff.
We've done several passes over bumpy sections with both ball diff and gear diffs (700cst all the way up to 10'cst) and recorded it in slow motion and the difference is huge
