Hi Florianz, thanks for the compliment and advice!
Cool info on the Torsen diffs, never heard of them, sounds very interesting. You use them? What would be the advantage over a thick fluid conventional diff you think?
I found the fishline thing in some old 2007 Traxxas thread if I remember correctly, seemed like a forgotten old-school trick. I only have 9 packs (through grass/dirt) on the fishlines and the line does show some wear as you can see in the pic below (mainly on the rears; fronts have less wear, so rotating front/rears occasionally will help prolonging life of the lines). One of the advantages over tape though is that it is not that much of an issue if the lines wear out, as the lines are very easy to make and replace. In fact, you could make some spares to take with you, so down-time would be minimal if a line would snap (which will eventually happen).
I see you're from HH, me too! Where do you drive? I'm still looking for a good place to do some fast on-road driving :).
