i haven't decided yet...can you get steet gears for a axial ax10 tranny cause that'll probobly be what i use...this kit: DNA axial ax10 dig unit(dig, trany and servo)

 

[slowngreen]

yes you can get steel gears.

your probly going to have to put some kind of heat exchanger whether it be fan or some kind of radiator.

Maybe but I've torn the poop out of a axial trans with stock gears on 3s and a 11t pinion and never had a problem, and thats ALOT of torque.
