AWD questions

[Lucky7]

I just received my 2nd Xmod, an RSX along with the AWD kit. First was a Black Civic like my RL car. It will remain 2wd, my donut car.
Just a couple of questions concerning AWD.
1) How will the stock motor run in the car with AWD?
2) How do the cups stand up to motors beyond stock?

3) I have the Dry Seal Bearing kit from TinyRC arriving shortly. I noticed TinyRC has a Carbon Fibre driveshaft set and wondered if they are worth it?
4) Any thoughts on what mods would be good for an AWD car beyong bearings?

Getting your Xmod delivered to where you work does not help the day go faster.
While my Civic ran straight with a minor tweak with the trim buttons my AWD RSX requires several tries at centering the servo. Thankfully on the 6th attempt I seem to have it licked.
Initial thoughts:
Stock motor needs to go, car feels like it needs more get up and go. Will wait to see what the bearings do but am planning on a motor upgrade. Can the stock cups handle it using stock AAA batteries?
With the body kit the car looks just plain nasty. Looking at ways to put twin exhaust out center of bumper.

The stock cups will be fine, obviously, for more or less stock things. Like the axles on a car, for most things youll do to it, they'll be fine. Do something crazy, and expect it to get expensive.

For the moment then I will keep the cups stock. Since the cars are run inside on hardwood floors I have found the speed to be just right as is. Any faster and I would be wreaking them.

Figured out why the AWD seemed sluggish. Throttle Trim was set like the 2WD to low. Switched to high and the AWD kicks.
