I apologize for being as vague as I was, I was in a rush and should have waited to post until later. I finished the frame the other day and now am working on the driveshafts. The project vehicle is a 6x6 running on Jumbo Kong Swamper tires. I have built 6- 1/4 scale trucks so far and just want to try something different. I had a clod that ran The jumbo kongs (8.5" tall) and had a blast, it just wasnt fast enough for me. I dont expect this thing to be a rocket ship, I have other cars for that and I have a purpose built crawler as well. I would like this to have pretty good speed for its size and be able to accelerate quickly. I dont really know how much it will weigh, but I need 2 motors for the 2 twin force transmissions and 3 axles I am using. The truck is going to be about 30" long and roughly 19" wide or so. Like I mentioned, its really big and I need a good amount of torque. If the Emaxx trans would be a better choice, please say so. I think it would be cool to make this a two speed, although getting them to shift at the same time would be quite a challenge. Thanks for the help!!!
