Thanks Coolhand,if you can remember that'd be cool.

I'd need to make a reducer anyway 'cause i'm using 19series 4mm shaft.There's more rotating mass in these though so i'll skinny them up as much as i can in the lathe.

I should have asked Mike if he/his supplier could help but i saw these in stock so i just got them.

I'm kind of experimenting with transverse tranny/motor layout at the moment.After this one i plan to do a flat chassis with the tranny/motor up front with a long rear shaft and the packs in the rear half.

That way the packs only have a drive shaft to saddle rather than a spur, getting the weight much closer to the center line.Kind of like a giant, shaft drive xx4 layout.plus you get zero torque roll with a transverse motor.

Edit;i just thought of another cool thing about transverse motor,i can just flip the diffs and reverse motor direction for either more squat or anti-squat effect of the motor on the chassis-maybe negligable difference but worth a tinker me thinks.
