Second question(play): for bashing around with insane motor power, ball differentials become the real weakness. Can some cars be fitted with gear differentials(I mean not toys, real cars like B44/B4, BJ4, zx5/RB5, D4, ...) ?

Thanks!
I use a 4.5 turn in a TC with 2 diffs no problem.
If you want geared diffs with electric offroad then how about 1/8th electric class.
