The only thing I'm wondering if you're going to throw in a weedwhacker motor or a chainsaw motor is can the drivetrain parts of a 1/10 scale monstertruck handle it? You might go through a lot of the gears for the 2 speed gearbox that it comes with, unless you're going to make a custom gearbox for it and I say KUDOs to you. 
You wouldn't have to modify the chassis much if you're going to use the RTR T-Maxx, maybe just to add a microcontroller to it, because all you would need to control are the servos, one for throttle and one for steering. If you want something bigger to work on, maybe you might want to check out the Traxxas 1/6 scale Monster Buggy. |
i never sed i am going to use the transmission from the t-maxx i sed i am going to use the differential and buying a tmaxx to rip apart would defeat the purpose of me even doing it cuz i would be spending like 400$ on a couple parts that i can get on ebay for like 30$ and i was saying that i may use the differential cuz i was asking everyone else if they think it would work so i dont know if it would work either
