Very cool! What's he, about 14 or 15? Should have a very good and long career ahead of him. 8)

An RC10GT trans would do the job.

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.

And thanks for posting the races!
