How thick do you Suggest a TXT Chassis should be? Im building a 15"er and was wanting to lose the TXT Chassis,Extremely long Savage shocks, and TXT Tranny. For a Lighter smaller tranny, narrower chassis and shorter shocks (3 1/2"). i have 3 options .064 .090 .125. Im running a 1/4 Servo at the moment, is there a standard servo that puts out 343 oz-in (24.7 kg-cm) of torque that wont cost me an arm and a leg? Can I gear a Pede tranny low enough for TXT Axles without doing the 4:1 mod? I do have a GD600 but i would like not to use it. Thanks Dez

Did you mean 14'er?I used a troublemaker 2 chassis and a 'pede tranny in my TXT and Maxx mashers powered by a B&B axle snapper motor and it was a blast but I like a challenge so I took it apart and build a 2.2 truck instead.I found a 10T pinion and I don't remember the spur count.My chassis was 3MM thick fyi

I've been pondering running a AX-10 Tranny with a 3:1 RC4WD gear reduction? or even a pede tranny.
