From alot of the comments i've read braking seems to be one of the main problems with heat buildup in the esc and motor but can anyone tell me if there is any difference in heat build up between a spool and a diff?

I imagine there would be cause you dont need to brake as much with a diff, you can scrub the speed off when entering the turn. Just a thought but if you only allowed people to run diffs (no one ways either) you may reduce heat buildup (if there is a difference?) and you will slow the cars down and also reduce the chance of breakages. Might even reduce the cost of new kits as you wouldnt really need alloy/titanium driveshafts anymore.
