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,)

I am going brushed because I don't really want to spend the 279 for the HV Maxx when I know I can do most of the swap for that. Later whenever brushless starts to come down then I might consider it but in the meantime I will be going brushed. Plus I am not looking for a ton of power out of my Revo just something fun to bash with. I really want to try the 12T Titans because no one really knows for sure whether or not they will burn up or be ok. I have a couple of ideas on how I am going to mount everything once I get it. I will be fabbing up brackets similar to dafni's for the battery's and then building a mount setup for the ESC and the RX. I forgot to add the steel idlers and the gear cover to the list but it was in the initial plan. What slipper do you recommend? Do you have a link to doing the transmission mod that you were referring to? I was planning on doing something to fix the wire situation but until I get everything layed out I am not sure how I am going to go about that yet. I am thinking about picking up a set of the gorilla straps to use to hold the batteries in place unless there is a cheaper alternative. Let me know your thoughts.
