Thanks. Sounds like you have a bit of experience with the Jato tranny. :)

I looked at the Jato's exploded views and I see the OWB on the first gear you are talking about (similar to the Revo actually). There is a single gear conversion for it, but it's probably the equivalent of first gear more or less, but it does look like it does away with the OWB without further mods.

What motor would push it well for high torque, high speeds, without heating up? I would think a 540 "S" size? Or is an "L" can a better choice? I'm not sure how much it weighs, but it can't be too heavy especially since it's only 2wd. As you can imagine, I'll be using lower voltage, probably 2s or 3s lipos (maybe even E-Molis). How does the rest of the drive train hold up under BL?
