Academy chassis, erm, take a peice of quilted toilet paper (sounds good so far) then wet it, you get the idea. As for the transmission, I never, funnily, had an issue and thought it worked pretty good, but like any other shaft drive, it took correct shimming. Shit loads of work to stop metal bits from devouring each other though.
The only thing I would say, if you ARE going to make a shaft drive, ensure you tie the prop shaft in to the motor mount in some way, then you are garaunteed an accurate mesh (no telling me off now Northy).
Personaly, the way I see it, decide on your transmission first, then go from there.
Dude you got my msn, I got a bloody good idea for you, and as long as you can get alloy machined, you da'man.
