what's up with the GorillaMaxx stuff?

[Traxxas Addict]

I'm building a G3R as well and was a little disturbed to hear this rumour. Is it a rumour or has it been confirmed that GorrillaMax is no more? I'm about 3/4 of the way through my build. I still have to figure out the transmission and slipper clutch mod. It looks like Mike's Slipperential wouldn't work all that well in this application........ I think........

I also want to design a mounting plate for the MMM so that it sits above the battery packs. I don't like the idea of it sitting above the motor. It seems like it would be too vulnerable up there.
