not sure if it's due to the stiffer front springs i placed or due to the tires enlarging.
i'm still not fully satisfied after these speed runs although it shifted out of the course towers some hard terrain and i lost the front right steering arm's nut and screw but i manged to repair it buy getting some identical screws and nuts form my other rc cars spare parts ( rustler's screw & a nut from the tools shop ).
here's my setup i currently ran with :


venom 6S 35C 5000 mah
26t pinion / 44t spur
hpi Tork flux 2200 kv motor and blur esc cooled by frozen blue gel
proline badlands tires as the slick, foam tires won't hold on the asphalt here
hitech ultra torque servo
futaba 3PL radio

It has proven to be quite durable and the rear(?) shock shafts and guide collars are the only things that have given in so far. Since the collars are backorder on amainhobbies I put a piece of brass in the lathe and made some new. These should last!

The motor was only in the 170°F range which made this seem even stranger, I'll rebuild the center diff based on these findings, however I wonder what normal Diff temps should be? beside the high temp reading everything else appeared to be good - no sign of a leak, diff seemed to be smooth and the car was hooked up after I changed from 4.5° rear toe in to to 5° of rear toe-in. I'm guessing the drop or two of the 30k fluid might be the reason for the high center diff temp but, I'm not sure why. Appreciate any insight to this or what to avoid doing in the future.

The other solution is to have a more gentle trigger finger. Stabbing the throttle will absolutely cook the diff fluid

I do have a tendency to stab the throttle, looks like I'll need to work on that as well...
