Mine was exactly the same. Anything lower than 5k and it was shit! Put 7k in and was a massive improvement but lacked slow speed steering. Went to 5k and was perfect.

Why does a gear diff and ball diffs handle different to each other. The porpose isbthe same. Its it purely down to a ball diff sliping and a gear diff not. Is It because the more a gear diff spins the more resistance there is. Like a violosity diff on real car. Im just building my 22 at the moment

to be honest, i am not a big one for changing springs etc etc etc, just sort of run it as it is. will prob get more minor changes done as and when i feel they will make a differerence, but at the moment i am just running a set up that seems to work OK.
