I've realized since that the combination of brushless torque and RWD is what was doing in the diffs.

I've been trying to set up a TA03 diff with ceramic balls in my 04. Can't seem to get the super silky action I'd need for it to work without slippage, so I'm trying a stock gear diff and turning down the punch on the ESC.
1K in the gear diff.
