Well if the previous owner has gone to all that trouble it's a good bet the gearbox has had some TLC too

This is what I was saying, the obvious upgrades might already have been done i.e. inside the gearbox, upsizing the 8mm bearings, shimming the main gear etc.

Hey a new crawler in TN. If your interested in comping look up ETRC on here. We run comps and gtgs almost all year long. Great bunch of guys. Good looking truck btw. I would definitely look in the gear boxes to see what you have. If they used the stock grease it has probably liquified and needs replaced anyway. |

Any advice or comments is greatly needed. I do not think this rig has any upgrades to the gearbox

Sounds like you hooked it up. Congrats on the find. It looks like you'll need to do almost nothing to your new baby. Enjoy!
