You won't need to upgrade the transmission - but you might choose to fit a ball diff at some point in the future.
You might want to get the lexan chassis cover (LOSB2225) to keep the dust and grime out. It's not waterproof but it helps.
I have fitted a smaller 82T spur gear to mine and fitted the orange/yellow fibre slipper pads from the XXX-CR / 22 - (LOSA3123). The spur gear enables me to get the motor a little bit further forward and the fibre slipper pads are more durable and progressive in their slip action.

Pinion for a 7.5T - I'd start with around 18/82 and tune from there. If using the stock spur gear, notch it up a tooth or 2 on the pinion.
