Well as far as my driveline is concerned, Im not so concerned with it as much as other people might be. This truck is going to be a beater, Something i just try to have as much fun in as possible. Driveline parts dont seem to cost a great deal either so thats not biggie. I also ordered a direct-drive for this truck so that might help keep costs down a bit. Someone told me to try this motor: 5407 Traxxas TRX 3.3 IPS Shaft w/Recoil Do you think it would power better than the O.S. .18tz, the same or not as much? I dont want to do extensive work on the car so i would like to get the best with as little work as possible. lol I know about having to change a part here or there so it will all work together but when it comes to measurements for drilling new holes or cutting new slots, Thats where i dont want to go really. So once again, thanks for the help!
