Only downside is that the 2's will be ever so slightly more heavier than the single 4.

I went and ordered up a Grid motor mount with inner last night. Just wandering if the Novak mod 1 pinions will be suitable as i'm thinking of getting the 18/19/20t pack to play about with..?

Any advice on connectors/wiring? I'm looking to get Tekin 4mm connectors and 12 guage wire for hooking the packs up.

Good advice on the diff housing. Seems like a small oversight from AE if there's that many with problems. I'll get mine sanded to flush before fitting. Is the Kyosho gasket recommended or is the std one fine once the housing has been fettled?
Not only are the 2's a little bigger, but in my opinion the extra wires and adapter can be a bit messy and a pain to deal with.

They recommend the hot bodies pinions for the grid motor mounts. Beware, hot bodies does not supply a set screw with their pinions.
