Um.. Duffy..
Comments like mine are purely my own opinion but one based on quite a wealth of experience on the subject. I stand by them in that the efforts (as shown via photo) were rather disappointing IF INDEED THAT IS what AE intends to offer.
Besides, the whole idea is to gear properly for reliable operation which can be achieved with a single speed configuration. The quest now is for more volts (per esc capability) and less current draw to provide the same power output.
Back on target, I would hope that AE looked to improve on the XBE with a stronger drivetrain, aluminum hubs/knuckles on all four corners and big-bore shocks.
Lastly, I still favor my Muggy and LST XXL over my old MGT hands down. Sorry to be the contrarian and again.. just my $0.02

I'm going to assume you mean that a 2-speed transmission should be offered with an electric motor here.. Because of the immense torque available from a stall by electric motors, a multiple speed transmission is neither necessary or very reliable. The biggest issue with this much power (and weight of vehicle) is putting that power to the ground. Diffs heat up under the stresses involved. Having a centrifugal 2-speed (most commonly used) would cause violent shifts between gears.It should be a 2speed stock that should hit 60plus even on the mamba.
