|  Dig sugestions
so iv been thinking about gettin a dig, been reading up on them so im not asking the typical "tell me all about them" question. Im just not sure which what to go, im running a DMG tuber and i have all my electrics cramed in pretty tight, so im not sure what dig would be the best for a tight fit. im leaning towards the VP , it looks small and i know the product is good, id just like to hear from you guys that are running digs about what you think my better choice would be for a tight fitting chassis. oh and the dig needs to have a "built in" servo mount since i have no where else to put one its gotta hold up to hand wound 35t running 3s lipo, and i have a heaver finger....

I'm running the r2 tranny with dig from rc4wd works real well and the tranny is built to last. the servo placement is simple and versatile as well. |

I run a VP Hurtz. Love it. Though I haven't used any others. so I am obviously bias. Though it was easy to install, set the shift points and it runs great. Shifting is never an issue. I have heard great things of the Eritex dig too. However, I chose the VP Hurtz because of the lever action it has. Seems to me to be a lot more robust w/o having a powerful servo to run it. SS |

The VP dig is the bomb! Pulled the Eritex dig I could never get consistent. The r2d was ok until it blew up. The VP works every time all the time. |

awesome thanks for the pics guys, correct me if im wrong, but it looks like the top of the servo mount sits lower then the top of the trans? my biggest issue is that i have a cross bar that im worried about interfering. could come one get me a lenght of the whole set up?? from spur gear to end of servo mount? |

Love my HR dig. Hasn't failed me yet and was one of the cheapest...I run a futaba 3004 servo with like 30 oz of torque or something like that and I have no problems, so far.
