Would still appreciate some input, diffs are set up nice, fairly loose but no slippage (after 3 yrs of racing a TA05 you become a bit of a guru at these things)

Well, i believe you will be fairly safe up to a 19T pinion. Raced mine last summer in Greece(34 Celcius/5 minute runs). EzRun 60A-8.5T(4200kv) motor and it help fine although the temps where higher that normal. Does your ESC have a fan attached? Mine did.
In a few days i will race my brand new Novak Havoc 3s-8.5T(5000kv) system.

The only thing that still worries me are the diffs, especially the rear one.
I managed to melt one, before i realized what 'tight enough' means. But,
you are already a guru on this matter. Do you have any suggestions? Front diffs must be tighter than the rear. How does that translate to tightening(backing up) the diff screw?
