Because they were installed wrong, mine don't rub

Question to you all is… Ball or Gear Diff?

Thanks.

ball diff for sure! Gear diff is usually used when there's an insane amount of traction like running on carpet or something.

Out of curiosity, why not run your motor wire (sensor and all) between your Wing Mounts and through the center opening in the shock tower? This way your wires are not so contorted.

Excellent. Thanks, it's what I thought as well. My T4 is dialed in for every type of track condition using the ball diff so I was leaning towards it. Now if my local shops would just get the outdrive bearings for the Tranny case, then I could have 2 complete Tranny's to swap as needed. This means I will be tearing down the Gear diff to use that case for the ball diff.

Question on Electronics (I know there's a section for that but it has very little foot traffic so I figured I'd ask here)

My Reventon R ESC's leads are a hair too short and I'd like to solder on new wire, but was looking for a specific color that by luck I found, only it's 14 gauge. The stock wiring on the ESC is 14 as well but I was wondering if there's an advantage to going with 12 over 14. If not I can order the wire right now and solder everything up once it arrives. I think it's will make my ride look so much sharper and totally unique.
