I guess traction will probably be a big problem and the gearing maybe a problem too? has anyone here done something similar? like putting a 10T into your mini ?

Yeah it'll be just a fun project and i know money better spent on other cars but i want to do something a bit different (and i want to keep my TC and 1:12 race legal)
Brushless would be a waste in a mini, seriously... and it will likely cost you a fortune in gear sets.
