Default crazy idea

ok maybe im crazy but what would happen if i build a tlt with a sw2 chassis and a stampede tranny and ran brushless setup ? keep in mind i wont be rock crawling i would rather use a junfac chassis i think they look better but i cant run a stampede tranny in it with out some modifications now could i also do the same basic thing with lets say a txt ? single brushless ?
bassicaly what kind of problems will i have when i try to make a fast and i use that term lossely ... txt with some crawler chassis. i havent picked a chassis for a txt yet.

Just remember the TLT drive train isn't intended to withstand the brute force a hi speed BL set up will thrust upon it.

Be prepared to replace alot of parts.

The tlt axles w/ be the weak link.

Although RC4WD is making machined aluminum internals and the word on the rocks is that MIP is making CVD for the TLT soon, so there may be hope.
