I know a lot of people will think that, but like I say, no need for 2 RWD off roaders, and I prefer the FG. I'm very happy with the trade I made, the peugoet drives great, the pipe is as quiet as the mielke was, and it drifts like a demon. I was drifting in a space only 50sq meters (5mx10m approx), at full throttle, it's so controllable in tight spaces, I LOVE it.
As for gearing it for top speed, yes, even with the stock gears you can gear it for 55mph I think, I don't have the gear chart handy, but that's one of the really nice features of the MCD drivetrain design. It uses 4 gears (pinion, 2 on the layshaft, and another to transfer the power to the centre diff) which are completely accessible and changed in seconds (eg swap pinion and layshaft gear, swap rear layshaft and drive gear, it has a few possible combinations on the stock gears). However, as you know, 4wd isn't ideal for speed runs, especially at this scale.
I was very lucky though, both cars are Zen 26 engined (Evo engine is brand spanking new), and those are the two best pipes available for the cars, so that's a nice thing not to have to worry about.
