I like your idea, but think it would be overkill in a 1/10th. I know you're thinking about less gear interchanges, but I bet the two additional interchanges in a 1/10th trans
(with 48p gears) when compared to the direct drive you propose (with mod1 gears) still has less loss due to friction. I bet rotating mass is less on the 48p setup also. Plus, you'd lose much of your ratio adjustability since size of the gears increases so quickly with tooth count in Mod1 gearing. Also, I've run 3s lipo and 5700 motors, and never had issues with 48p gears in a stadium truck.
