Pixs of the differentials and locking servos, all the parts I have for it assembled. Now just waiting on drive shafts, drive hubs, steering servos, shocks, and rx/tx. Have to decide on what rim/tire combo and body I want and finally the motor/s and esc that will power this monster. Last 2 pixs are of the new 775 and esc that I rigged to go in a really old truck I had laying around just to test the motor out. The torque it puts out is insane. Wants to pop a wheelie with hardly any throttle applied. Once it quits raining here and I get a basher body to help protect it I'll break the motor in a bit more.

I was going to try to run 2 of the new 775 titans. The size of it makes it hard to fit on the tranny like the 550's sit on a emaxx. Thinking of trying to make a mounting plate that flips them to face the opposite direction. At least untill I can afford a dual BL setup. I'd be happy for any input anyone has for me.

Why not just one? they seem strong enough, and les stress on the EVX. you could turn the transmission around backwards and use a erevo/summit motor mount setup

More power that and it's a test for an idea I have for later. I'd like to keep the mount position over the 3905 tranny to put more of the weight front biased. So turning the tranny around backwards won't help because the problem is the 775 motor hits the tranny before the gears mesh. I figured to start with the stock summit pinion and emaxx spur. Next thing to figure out is running 2 EVXs and what battery setup I can do. I'm not sure I can fit 4 batteries in the chassis. I only have some NiMH batteries right now. Lipos have to come much later.

Why waste all the time and money to do this with 4 batts and 2 evxs and 2 motors when you could just do a bl setup? A MMM and an medusa or the mmm2200 combo will run around 250... With lower gearing you can still run the crap nimhs you already have (no dis on your batts, all nimhs are crap). Or get the HW 80 esc and a feigao 9-10xl (good setup for 35mph). That would be around 150 bucks... Sell the evx and the 775 motor and get more than half of that back...
