Quick update i removed the chassis leg lip so i have more clearence with the drive shaft then welded it back up for strength
And found another gearbox with the code i wanted ENJ this has a higher ratio than the current gearbox and will allow a better cruising speed, i may even be able to put a little more power down in 1st,2nd and 3rd haha
gave it a quick clean i haven't decided on colour yet paint it silver or same colour as the body like the previous box?

Silver would get my vote but I think most people go down the black or silver route……
Nice work btw
