well sort of. 18 tooth pinion, 87 tooth spur, with a 35 turn integy lathe motor. on 3s it's about as fast as a stock wraith. BUT it crawls great and has loads more torque.

i found some good places and beat the crap out of the thing. didn't break anything except the stock 80 tooth spur! stripped it out within 5 minutes. my problem was i installed MIP driveshafts and while i had the tranny out i cracked it open and greased it up. when i reinstalled the spur i didn't set the mesh right.

all the problems people are having getting the set screws out of the driveshafts... hose them down with PB Blaster! i broke a MIP hex driver on the first one. then i just hosed them down, let them sit for about 30 minutes, and took all four of the screws out with 0 problems!!
