Brian unless I cut a hole in the floor of the sleeper and put the motor and 3 spd there, I don't have the room. the floor on my cab is flat. and about 1/4" above the frame rails.

Thats what I meant. You could easily hide the drive line in the sleeper. Your cab is detailed are you doing this to the sleeper also?

Hadn't planned on it, but ya never know

The main thing I am asking is what motor. I have no idea what 540, 775 ect means.

Here is a link to the place where Rick said he got the motor and the gear box for the yellow zonker but they don't have the combo that he got any more.. But these are the gear boxes I was thinking about. Rick said he had a 25:1 in the zonker.. http://banebots.com/c/PLANETARY

540 cans are the stock size the Tamiya kits come with. Plain silver can motor cheap and you can get them everywhere. I like the tamiya three speed with gear reduction/low count pinion. I ran mine with stock can and pinion with 4:1 on 3S lipo and was still pretty quick. I limited throttle on my radio a bit in fwd and lot for reverse.

Thanks.. No room for the 3 spd. I built the truck planning on using a motor and gearbox that Rick (Roque) used but the link he sent me a long time ago don't work anymore.

I got it all figured out thanks to TC... I will be using a 540/55t with the RC4WD Disruptor. That should get me closer to the speeds I want.
