Very cool! What's he, about 14 or 15? Should have a very good and long career ahead of him.

Thought he was 16 that they said on the LIVE coverage of the worlds. and he has been running for what like 2-3 years of racing?

HE has talent. he will be around for awhile.

An RC10GT trans would do the job.

Oh, are they layed down like that? I'm not too familiar with the GT's?

Yup. Check the truck forums. There's a couple of GT electric conversions with good pics.

email AE about the "limited prod run" and this is what i got back:
Hello Mike,



Thank you for contacting customer support. It is was a limited run of kits but, the actual number is not being let out to the public.



Thank You,

Nick Wautlet

When looking at what parts shapeways had to offer I came across a LCG transmission for the B5M.
