I am just thinking about how much more space I would have on my Revo if the motor was gone from the engine mount, no tranny, and the outrunner motor was mounted down kinda under the tranny. wow. Get some bullet proof diffs and you are set! Nothing to wear out in the tranny... at least anytime soon.
Yes ZPB, that's exactly what I'm thinking of. The motor will set about 60% "submerged" in the chassis. Just enough to make the drive shafts as straight as possible.

RCM has the 4.3:1 diff gears. This will drop the gear ratio to almost equal to an E maxx locked in second gear. If more gear reduction is needed, we can do that with the tire height.

The end result will be alot of lost weight. There will be alot of room opened up on the already tight E-Revo chassis. Alot of wear items eliminated means this thing is going to perform longer and hold up better.
