Is there anyone who knows if there is a way to get the gear box to run w/ only one motor? The gear box alone, w/ 2 motors, weighs almost 9 lbs.
I'm assuming you mean the drive train that came with the kit. Simple, drill some holes (in everything possible) until you A) Lose enough weight or B) Think by drilling more you'll lose structural integrity.

The best way may be to create your own drive train.
