you'll prolly want some gear reduction with that 55, its a bit fast without one.

i use the one RC4WD sells i use the 4:1 ratio with a 55t..... super stout and got a nice crawl speed OH and i wanted to ask, what are you concerned about with the strength of the axles?? i havent had any problems, and have seen people use them with great success.....
