Well I am not sure of the detailed specs of the differentials and transmission gears. I have been in contact with the CEN engineers, and I am sure that I can get those answers in the next few days. I currently am running the Genesis wheels and tires. But plan to put on the OFNA (part 86065) diamond rims with 17mm (part 36054) hex and 8 mm axle openings. I should get my set of ing on going with the 8.5 inch tall Jumbo Kong Tires. I have like 2 full spare transmissions I got on ebay (annhilated 1 tranny and 2 differentials with 30% nitro) I also have a significant stock of other parts.. If I need to bail on the genesis transmission and diffs, I can do that also. I am not opposed to changing those components (or really any other). I like the larger size of the Genesis over say a savagebut if it isn't a feasible goal I can try something more reasonable. Brakes will almost have to be redone, the stock brakes are weak. The drive shaft to the front differential will need to be changed from the carbon fiber junk thing that CEN used, (the end spins off too easy) a steel dogbone should have been used on the front like they used on the rear. The differentials are weaker than the transmission
So I guess 50 mph was a goal, but like any new project decisions have to be made and tradeoffs always occur.

Let me know what you think.

I am still researching about the electric (batteries, LIPO and others)powered and brushless setups to better understand the engineering principles behind these power plants and electric drivetrains.
I am trying to understand how the brushless motors ratings relate to power (torque/HP/and RPM) How different power source voltage, amperage, and mah ratings affect these same characteristics.
