The Gelande transmission V2 is 10/55 and the Barrage is 64/12 if I am not mistaken.

did someone try to use a 7 teeth pinion with the stock motor? like this for example https://shop.kkpmo.com/product_info.php?info=p369_gearwheel-pinion-m0-3---7teeth.html
That should reduce the speed enugh to crawl a bit better imho.

Would a brushless motor for a drone fit? Seems small enough... https://www.banggood.com/DYS-D2830-2830-750KV-850KV-1000KV-1300KV-Brushless-Motor-p-986143.html

No.
A 7t pinion would be to small IMO. Even if you found one with a 1.5mm hole it wouldn't he very durable. I think someone around here has even said he's broken 8t pinions. I'd personally stick with 9t
As far as "Drone" motors, yes an out runner can work, it's been done on the barrage and other Micro crawlers, the one posted however is way to large.

Very interesting video https://youtu.be/QBoyOP2CSk4 basically because I’ve got a ibex with problems with the TX and I will try to use the tranny to do this

So was the 9t losi pinion worth swapping to? Also has anyone put in a 130 size motor yet?
It would take some creativity to get a 130 motor in there. The factory motor is nice and low, but it's tight against the chassis and the factory motor plate is plastic molded to the transmission housing. Won't be a simple bolt in or even as easy as the Losi.

what part are we looking to damage / modify while trying to do this?
As the barrage is still out of stock, I can order them and try as I have spare 130 around.
Well you would need a whole new motor plate. The factory motor plate is plastic and molded to the transmission housing. If you cut off the part the motor bolts to and tried to make a new plate the spacing may be off and it doesn't look like a 130 motor will sit in the factory location. But that may not be a huge issue. If it was built like the Losi/Ambush/ECX Temper transmission it would be easier to mount a 130 motor, but swapping to one of those transmissions means less reduction making it even faster possibly with less low end control.
A 130 motor is still doable, just will have to be done differently

You could relocate the battery/radio deck to fit a 130 motor in there. Once you find the right tranny.
The length isn't an issue at all. That's easy enough. It can obviously be done with another transmission, there are a few options. For some reason I'm determined to make it work with the stock transmission. The easy way out is to just use a full sized servo connected to the transmission. I've seen it done and it crawls great, but I'd miss the bump speed. Maybe a fast servo would work.

I was thinking of this same thing this morning.
Speaking of servo’s, maybe I imagined it but I thought I read where someone used the motor out of a servo on one before???

You may be thinking of the RC4WD D90 thread where people have been looking for am alternative to the stock D90 motor. Some have used a servo motor (forgot which servo) with great success.
The truth is, if you want to use a servo for the transmission, you can use the board inside the servo as the speed control too. Maybe that's what Spoo is talking about. I used to do that in 1/87 scale TTT trucks. Best micro ESC available is the board inside a servo "thumbsup"
