Default 2 Speed Electric...Nitro Killer?

Has any one ever tried to retrofit a 2 speed tranny or thought about it to an electric Tour, Pan, or Off-road car? I'm sure others have thought about it.

Would it work?

If not why wouldn't it?

Would it only work on a direct drive unit (motor pinion directly drives axle mounted spur)?

Stock, Modifdied, or Brushless will they provide adequate powered for it?

The E-maxx has somewhat of a shift on the fly high low but how about something more along the lines of a nitro auto shift?

Is there some reason that companies haven't tried this yet for their electric vehicles?

A few questions to get the post rolling, I'd like to hear some ideas on what everyone thinks. (If there is another post like this in the electric forum I couldn't find it)

If you've managed something like this post pics or link sites.
