Heat, and probably because the stock drivetrain could never handle it. The diffs will shred, the pinions will melt onto the motor shaft, and the driveshafts will twist into pretzels. I'd think at minimum you'd need either the hard gear diffs or ball diffs and the alloy driveshafts to handle that kind of horsepower, but it would be friggin epic and probably extremely competitive when set up properly. The MA-020 is a very fast car and is more competitive than 2WD on technical tracks IMO.

Wonder why they don't just include the buggy hardened diffs on the VE AWD chassis by default, and the alloy driveshafts on the SP cars as another added bonus. I guess its all to keep the price down but Kyosho has slacked off on content on their special edition cars and it's lame. Even their latest special color chassis (the blue JSCC chassis) only came with a ball diff and bearings. Back in the day, you'd get the diff and bearings but also kingpins, shims, springs, oil shock, t plates, damper plate and wheel nuts. The cars were dialed out of the box!
