Actually I have been considering that. I know at one time there was someone on the forum making them that literally bolted in.

What a SUPER job!
A D44 should be plenty strong and with the automatic in there now and a D36 might live to a ripe old age. The rear end breakage usually comes from the hit they take when shifting gears. An automatic applies the torque constantly and just adds a little bit at shift time without the on/off slam of gear lash that a standard hits one with. You can push something pretty hard before it breaks, but if you hit it you can cause a lot more damage with a lot less force.

Going to more cells and half the capacity I'm in the range of about 80 miles at 65-70 mph. but I shed 300 pounds of weight in batteries alone. This is also with the motors set at set with 292 HP and 725 ft lbs of torque. So I could probably milk more range by dialing things back a little bit... BUT this is way too much fun!
I had to work out a couple issues with drive train angles. I had to cut some of the tunnel out to get the rear of the transmission up about another 1.5" I was getting vibrations from the drive shaft at about 70 mph, I resolved those yesterday.
