That was what Associated printed bitd, it's just a copy/paste for the sellers. I have no idea why it was said to have more punch, I always figured they changed it due to the cost of the tiny thrust bearing assyThis is the Team Associated Stealth Transmission Thrust Bearing Set.
FEATURES: This new washer type thrust bearing washer replaces the older
ball in cage retainer type style thrust bearing.
Offers improved performance of the clutch giving more punch.
INCLUDES: One 5-40 steel locknut with nylon insert
One brass thrust bearing washer (1/8 id. 5/16 od. 1/16 thick)
Two steel polished thin washers that sandwich thrust bearing washer
Instruction sheet

between the torque control spring and 3/16 x5/16 bearing/bushing.
The thrust bearing no longer has balls inside it is solid.

I read the same thing. Seemed a little confusing .. just wondering how it would effect the diff when trying to set it?

It doesn't effect the diff at all, just the slipper. Bitd I remember them switching to it but never saw a difference. They also lost the slipper bearing and went to a bushing at the same time. Always seemed like cost cutting to me.
