NP. Just a warning the Iridum plugs are overrated. They really dont make much if any power for the extra cost. I would just go with some good platinum NGKs if it was me.

As most of you said, wiring is the hardest thing. Axles are a non-issue. Its not hard to get custom axles made (www.raxles.com). Just use the 6-speed that comes with the motor and you won't need an...
