lotta talk?
When you get that beautiful Attack EV, a purpose built sportscar finished, and you wana get spanked by my non-sportscar utilitarian daily driver Honda Civic in any race of your choice, just say the word.
The whole project is top-notch, and it looks like you're building the best fit-and-finish attack out there. I checked out the custom gear made for the tranny. Cool stuff! In high torque situations with that tranny, we pull out 5th gear, and use the needle bearings that the 5th gear set rides on to make a "dogbone" or "handcuff" for the tranny shafts. The reason is the cases flex a lot under high torque loads, and it lets the shafts get enough distance between them that the gears get loaded further out on the tips, which results in strange gear wear at the best case, and a shaved off load of teeth at the worst case. You've got loads of bare shaft to throw a handcuff in there, and it's a simple part to make if you want to improve tranny strength.
This is what they look like, very easy part to make for the added strength if provides:
