Def don't run the slipper too loose. It will heat up and ruin the pads quite quickly, and motors can also run hot too if driving a loose slipper. Its best to learn throttle control or lose some cells in the batts until you are comfortable with it. Maybe turn down the thr EPA, tho I'm not 100% that the esc will like that.

The diffs should be ok provided you treat them nicely. Don't launch the truck really hard, and don't slam on brakes at high speeds.

As far as lipos, I've never had a prob strapping them down. Def put foam around them. If they need "cooling" and heatsinks, you have too small of batteries. They shouldn't get warm at all.
