Alright, so just yesterday I ordered a bunch of stuff from Tower for the project.

I bought 2 Tamiya "6-speed" transmissions. You build them and can choose out of 6 different gear ratio's when putting them together (it's not on the fly adjustable). I'm planning to hook both together so I can adjust to as high as a 1692340:1 for the pull, and adjust it back down for the other events.

The other main things I got were a set of Axial AX10 Solid axles.

We also bought a bunch of rod ends. I'm going to buy some threaded rod stock and cut that down to appropriate lengths for linkages, and with some T-Maxx shocks I have (which I ordered slash springs for so they are softer), we plan on making a multilink suspension, very much like a crawler. I played around on Solidworks and found some pretty good geometries.

I also ordered some Jato axles which I'll "make work" to connect the "tranny" to the diffs. I would have gotten the Axial shafts but they were out of stock.
