If anything maybe a slipperential (slipper on the center diff) but with 4wd you should not really need a slipper as well. I ran all my 10th scale 4wd cars with locked or nearly locked slippers.
Just wondering, how well does the 8th scale truggys do with electric motor and esc heat with just a pinion, motor brakes, and 4 cells?
