I was looking at one of my good ol' 10T's the other day and I got to thinking. Why not stuff a weedwacker engine into one of of em? I have already beefed up the suspension to compensate for the extra weight but im not sure the tranny will last. Especially the ball diff. Does anyone have any ideas to beef up the tranny or mabie swap it with one from another car? Or am I gonna be stuck making my own? Space is gonna be really tight so its gotta be small but tough. If I can get it to work ill post some pics!:p

I'd use a chainsaw motor. They have a complete clutch built in & would need only a sprocket mod to drive a roller chain rather than a saw chain.

Since noone here but Mark wants to help, can anyone tell me how much a complete GT tranny would be? I figure its a tougher tranny than the 10Ts and it would solve my problem with finding a way to stop. I need any help I can get here!
