|  TXT tranny
Is the trans that comes with the TXT stock a 1 or 2 speed? If it's just a single speed trans why not just take it out and use just the output gear and drive it straight off of the motor? It would save weight and space. I would think that would help some of the crawlers with less chance of rolling backwards due to gear lash play and they don't need 2 speeds. The only problem that I would see is how to house it to keep the mud etc off of the gear and motor. It was just a wild thought that I had last night after I took my Diloted and was waiting on it to take affect! lol

Without the trans, your gear ratio would be much higher, leaving pretty much no torque to move an 8-10lb TXT. All trucks have some gear reduction, either through a classic tranny or hanging off the axle.
