A few companies are doing wheel motor for full scale cars however, with GREAT results, works much better than motor/tranny/driveshafts.


About the diffs Sike.... I think all pinions have thrust on them when loaded, these spiral cut gears may just have more pressure is all. I don't really know what the best bearing are in these sizes? Sorry.

What diffs are you running in your 7S1P A123 setup? Ever had problems?

I know that truck really runs!
