Default Gear Reduction Unit

Is there a unit that goes between the motor and motor mount for gear reduction? Something that should work with most RC applications where a standard 540 type moter is used? Does this exist?

What do you plan on using this with? I believe it is not a direct fit to some trannies.

why not research instead of believe?...duh


it is not a direct fit to trannies that is why he said he had to build them, some parts have to be machined down a little to get a direct fit...the search button will show you more info if you want

Most use the GD600 cuz it's cheap and there's several gear ratio's to easily change out to.

Theres some gear reductions out there that require no mods to run. Search for MPJet. Thats one that I know of,it's and inline reduction,unlike the GD being off set.
