"Direct Drive to Diff" MT2 18SS

[GO-RIDE.com]

MetalMan, that is a really cool project. Thanks for sharing the build. Is there a smaller outrunner motor that would work good with a MambaMax and fit in a CRT.5? I really like my CRT.5, but I wish it was lighter and had more room on the chassis for batts. Does removing the center diff make driving on a track a lot harder? Is the direct drive system more for bashing?

Thanks again!
