Does anyone have some pics of their setup? Maybe the same or similar to what I'm running? I'm just trying to get some ideas on the best way to route the wiring.

Thanks!!
i run the tekin rs pro, so i have it pretty centered on the shelf, a little right and i ran my wires through the right part of the shock tower, under the wing mounts and side on the motor so that the wire was running parallel will the motor inbetween the motor tab, and the transmission case, really slick and really light weight couldnt use less wire if i tried

I have the associated shelf and its for sale now.
I have a speed passion and the body rubbed the body with the wires and no fan can be used on top of the esc.

Im not entirely sure about that but I know you should run a ball diff on a track unti lyou get use to it then try a gear diff as a tuning option

I was taught that gear diffs are better for high traction tracks were as ball diffs are better for looser tracks, I may be completely wrong though

Ball diffs are way more consistent and require less maintenance. Contrary to popular belief.

As long as you build them right each has their territory

I've run a gear diff for the last few months on medium to high grip tracks. Last night I switched to a ball diff. My observations...

The gear diff made the car less responsive on entry. On exit the car was loose at times.

The ball diff carried more corner speed and had better on power grip when turning.

My times improved by a half a second per lap do to the car being more consistant.

On super high grip I think I'd prefer the gear diff. But everywhere else a ball diff.
