So, after finding out today that the GorillaMaxx site wont be reopening until the 2ND APRIL due to delays, I thought I'd fill the time by making a few essential tweaks to the truck, mainly locking the tranny into 2nd gear. I took the oportunity to snap a few shots of the modifed tranny/ motor mount while I had it off the truck:
It was a simple enough job- trace outline of gearbox onto motor mount plate, then remove it, and attack it with a hacksaw & small files. Took about 2 hours at most. I also removed the anodizing with some, um, medium grit sand paper since I ran out of wirewool.... Looks way better silver though.
