|  tmaxx tranny running electrically?
I was wondering if anyone out there has converted a tmaxx to electric while keeping the original tranny. I looked at teh specs, and first gear has a little more gearing than the emaxx tranny, but second has less. I was thinking that I might be able to take out the clutches (except the slipper) on the tranny and then just make a custom motor mount. I was wondering if anyone has tried this, or if it is even possible  |

If you can work out an adapter to mount the electric motor in the truck and mount the pinion to it.  |

that's what I was thinking of doing, but would I need to do any modifications to the tranny?

I was going to do the same thing untill I found an old Emaxx trans and motor plate for $10. Much easier and cheap as well.
