I posted this in another area but then found this..
So I just bought a new xmaxx and widekit, max5 1650kv, wfo mini mount and some other odds and end.. after installing I've noticed the gear cover had to be slightly shaved and I can't use the gear cover with some gears. ATM I have 54/18 and the cover doesn't fit. I also tried 46/18 but the adjustment bolts for the motor are hard to access. I'm looking for suggestions. Maybe someone has done this and has a better insight on it. I have a 23t and 24t gear coming and I'm going to try that . Is it safe to run the xmaxx without a gear cover? Does anyone have a good gear combo for this setup?
Here are a few snaps I got of it so far.. if anyone has any suggestions on other things that would be great!! Thanks for looking

I got quite a bit tied up in it so far. Got a few more things on the way. Just getting the feel of these big systems

We're building one from parts. Been buying most of it from Jenny's.
 
My build so far.. got everything mounted then decided to tear it back down so I could give her some earplugs in the center diff!!
