Way to go, keep us posted. I love my E-Aftershock so much, I made two of them and I never play with my FM Maxx anymore. It's been a few months since I finished mine and the stock gears are just fine. I just bought a Muggy roller because of the quality of Losi's products. I'm running MM's and XLT's on both.
Yep, I remember the thread on both of your conversions. I was going to use an emaxx tranny, but decided to leave the stock tranny and try out a forward only mech brake setup. I personally feel that leaving as much stock parts should help the reliability on 9s lipo thru a kb45xl. This will be my first hv setup with a kb45 and I think it will be a good basher. Plus there is not a hv car esc with brakes and reverse that I can afford, and I like the auto shifting 2 speed. My tekno revo is really fun to play with and I love the sound of the tranny shifting gears by itself. Plus it seems to keep the electronics cooler, as there is less load in 1st gear.
