Got a new E-maxx transmission from tower for only $48 without motor plate or spur gear, but eBay has this exact thing going for at least $70. So finally got the transmission in and a servo and such.
Threw in the old Velineon on 3s and geared it 19/68. Seems to have more power than I remember, could pull 10 mph rolling wheelies and flip it onto it's lid in the blink of an eye. Will make some for an amusing video when I get some decent clips together. Jumping will also be done, jumping is good.
