I've been running that system for two years quite successfully on both outdoor and indoor tracks. The BEC is not strong enough whith good traction, so I recommend a HV servo fed directly from the battery. I also run a 40mm fan over the esc, temps were never above 45°C (113°F) after 10 mins.

z449 for both the old and new diffs. The original screws strip too easily for many, even with quality hex drivers.
