I don't think the axles will stand up to more power, especially the front axle having to transmit all the power to back axles too. The pitch of the crown & pinion in these axles is quite small. And I have stripped the teeth from the very front pinion before. The last time I ran the junk740, the driveshaft knuckle between front axle & trans broke.
This model desperately needs a transfercase between front & two rear axles with additional reduction... too bad the model design doesn't have the space within to do so. ![]()

Joe, I hear ya loud and clear on the piss poor design. I didn't even think of the stress on the front drive axel as it has to transmit all the power to the rear. Sad to say but I truly think my Tamiya axle will handle more torque than these. I just wanted something a little more, nothing crazy. Again, just sick of the under power in 3rd gear. You should know, your steep basement inclines must keep this thing in 1st gear all the time.
