still dont know what a Jefferson chassis is....
I have ran receiver packs but, now I run a CC BEC, sure beats overloading your ESC in the middle of a comp (Been there, done that). Personally, I would ditch that big stick pack, either go with a rc18 pack, lipo or a custom 2/3 pack. Crawling doesnt take allot of power. As for motors, I used to run 55t in all my trucks, I have since switched to brushless in the 950kv range. Depending on your transmission/gearing the 45t may end up being too fast. My theory has always been to throw the largest turn motor at it and speed it up with gearing... Kind of like putting a Diesel in a Jeep and using a 4:1 low range. If you want a 55t I have some barely used ones (1 I think never was used) sitting on the shelf, I could trade you for that 45t I need a faster motor for a trail truck.
