My diffs have not worn out at all, but I'm using aluminum diff cases. My truck is now capable of 60 mph, so I suspect the diffs would be shot with the stock plastic cases. However, since you only plan to use 6~7 cells, you should be ok with the plastic cases.

The Feigao 7t is definitely not enough motor. I would suggest a Wanderer 540 8s, assuming it has a 5 mm shaft, which I think it does. The MT2 uses a mod 1 spur gear, so it's easiest to use a motor that accepts mod 1 pinions. An 8s on 6 cells should probably get you to the mid-30 mph range. 7 cells should be close to 40 mph.

You can get a motor mount for $22 from coldfusion on the RCZ forum.
