"Your main problem with a high power motor is keeping the front end down and getting any steering on throttle. The ball diff can't be used as a slipper, there are no replaceable diff washers in it so if it slipped you would need new hard to find diff parts very quickly."

Terry is 100% right, with that power brushless, the car will spend more time wheelying and have zero on throttle steering. If you check out my pictures running a shorty lengthways and with a bunch of lead towards the fron of the car plus a geared correctly not to powerful motor, the car will have plenty of balance and on throttle steering without popping a wheelie every time I hit the throttle.
