Why are you going brushed? From what I've seen, the 12t Titans are meant for 6-7 cells, not 14. The concensus on the TRaxxas forums seems ot be they will burn up. Either way they are not proven. In the end you'll end up spending alot oto get little back. Low 30s possible only on 14 cells I would guess. If you are wanting something simple, at least get a Novak HV line. More power more TQ, more speed and more runtime.

Plus, with two motors, you have trouble finding a place for the esc, esp if you are keeping dual servos. The Rx will already be hard. Its a pretty spartan chassis, and you'll end up having to cram everthing in making it not pretty and a PITA to work on.

Otherwise:

You will need a better slipper soon, steel idlers, and I prefer a gear cover. Batt wires are back there bouncing around and I don't want them to get sucking in and chewed up. I wouldn't go with the gmaxx single spped. You lose half the tranny case, but then also half of your mount. Its just as easy to remove all the 1st gears and get to keep the full mounts. Put the money toward a better motor.

How are you planning to mount the batts? My biggest advice is to really plan everything out and make sure you have all your parts before you start. There are alot of little bits and ends you will need as well. (bolts, straps, mount material, etc etc,)
