tranny advice

[idk]

got a sensored 13.5 and 17.5 an losi esc. i need a tranny. what i have already is a r2 that needs rebuilt. 15.00 or buy a stock ax10 tranny with slipper? i know the axial will need gear upgrades and 32p spur and pinion. my question is


should i just go with the r2 rebuild it and be good? or get a axail run it like it is and upgraded later? can the axail handle 13.5 or 17.5 power in stock form? for a couple of months with 2s lipos not a speed rig trails and crawling only?

In the long run you should go with the Axial. Durability is higher in my opinion with upgraded gears.

thats were i was leaning too. but my question is if only crawling will the will stock axail hold up? i know its more of when it fails and not if it fails but my funds dont allow for tranny and gears from the start.
oh well on to the classifeds

There's a lot of people that are still running the stock trans gears. I've seen first hand a Wraith with a VXL system on 3S take a beating without breaking anything, also seen the same rig with a HH BRXL & 7T Puller on 3S do some wicked stuff with no broken parts. A big factor in my opinion would be proper setup of your slipper and control of your throttle finger.

I ran stock gears for a long while with a nocak 17.5/tekin rs on 3s. The older, hollow alum outputs are the only stock item I refuse to run.

i ran the castle sv2 4600 system for awhile on 3 cell with no damage, i later changed to 2100kv 2250watt 1/8 scale motor and stripped the idler gear running on 5s. i changed to a robinsion idler and have been going strong for awhile and have ran 6s lipos on it.

i did stripp the idler when the paddles were loose then hooked up hardcore literaly instantly stripped the idler.

evan03, there's no chance for a warning when that happens, HAHA.
