Default New to rc crawling have some ideas input is welcome!

Hey guys I have been into rc for about a year now and i have became addicted. I now have a fully modded savage build for bashing see pic:
Click the image to open in full size.
a couple stadium trucks and so on... BUT now its time for a crawler. I think i want to just get some mad force axles ( Ive read around the forum and seems to me they are a good choice because of the ability to change their length) And i plan to use an e-maxx tranny becuase it seems to be a fav among you guys... a couple questions however.

I just use the motor mount plate that comes with the e-maxx tranny correct? shave off one motor mount side if using one motor seems like a praubable idea.

I see lots of guys using com lathe motors to power their crawlers. So i think I will go with this setup becuase it seems easy relable and the price is right... is two motors worth the extra cost in an esc? or is one motor plenty..... I am thinking of using on of those something something 600 reduction boxes also... I think that this will be a very fun project and i should learn quite abit from it.

Also I live in phoenix arizona as i see some of the boardmembers do also. i would love to hook up with some of you guys to check out your crawlers for ideas. thanx alot guys I am looking ofrward to getting lots of usefull ideas from this page! thank you in advance!!!!!!

I've ran two motors and I've run one, it all depends on how you wanna run, it ran fine with just one motor and run times were awesome.
