Mmm, you ask a good Q. This was made with a lot of things left over in the cabinet that didn't get used for previous builds. Then there's a gearbox on the end of that, what's described as "Axial 1:10 scale" in the ads, with the driveshaft outputs. This truck is only rear wheel drive so I'm not using the front output, but you get the idea.

If memory serves it's a 55T 540 with a 4:1 planetary reduction box. Gives it enough torque to pull a trailer and not be stupid fast. Weather has not been conducive to actually going outside for much testing, but soon.
