Also If and I mean If I decide to keep it as a two speed what are the gears I need to get. I an totally a noob when it comes to this kind of two speed setup. I think I will get one either way just to try and see. I might like the two speed but I just like the simplicity of running just one pinion and one spur gear. Less moving parts the more I like it.
I am going to make up a mount that I think will even house a 1518 (from what I can measure it should). I am not sure if I'll use the 1518 on it but if I do it will have to be on 8S. That will mean a plane ESC (to keep the costs down) and will need to run mech. brakes (I think I have even this figured out).
What is troubling me now is the absence of front braking. Actually scares the crap out of me. I really want to run front brakes but that means locking up the font axle. How would this make the car handle? I wont be racing it as I just want something fast and fun but don't want something that corners like a drunk pig. Wish that there was a front diff option.

I think I will be able to make that work easily. Just not sure about the spur size. Worried it might be too small. I want the option of running the mechanical brakes so not sure how big of a pinion I would have to run to get the gears to mesh and motor to clear the brake disc. Will have to do some more measuring. Thanks for the link superek4. Everything helps.
