Any way to gear down the axles?

I'm working on a scale project for my MRC and was wondering if there is anyway to gear it down at the axles? I think that's where most of the torque twist comes from and wanted to see if it could be done. Is there any doubles out there that I could possibly bolt on to the pinion shaft and secure it to the axle. then just attach the drive shaft to the doubler. It would kinda be like a portal axle but fot your driveshaft. I'm just curious. I'm tinkering with the thing and having a million different Ideas pop into my head like I wonder if I could do this or that. That seemed like one of the better ones.

Also is there anyone who makes a tiny shifter boot? I want to use toggle switches in the cab to work the ESC and some LEDs and I want to disguise them as shifters.

You can eliminate 99% of your torque twist by fine tuning a 4 link with different shock oils and spring combinations. As for the shifter boot, go to the scale threads and maybe one of those guys can help.
 
the only way to change the gearing is to change the spur gear tooth count and/or the pinion gear tooth count (the one that goes on the motor shaft) I have went from one extreme to the other on gearing. the higher gearing only makes torque twist come into play later in the acceleration curve. my advise is to 4 link it and aftermarket shocks.
