|  R1 Full Metal Transmission - Shipping next week     R1 is finally done, we still need to drill the side mounting holes and put them together. We should start shipping mid next week. Punisher Shaft for TXT-1 and R1 transmission will be available again next week as well. We are working on a crawler axle too, should be available for preview end of September. And shipping in October. |

| According to the website, $199. From the photos, looks like the gears themselves ride on bearings and bronze bushings support the shafts; or those are just spacers... |

| Highmark, when did you bought your tracgear and what color was it? We did made one bad patch a few month ago, send us an email to rcrock(at)gmail.com, along with your order #. We will send you a replacement right away. |

|  i saw it on the website that thing is "like whoa!" i know it says metal gears but are they aluminium? sorry if this is dumb but that looks like a clear motor mount for a clod in the first pic, can you run two motors or what am i missing? i cant wait to see the axles.. .

| All gears are aluminum, the only plastic parts in the tranny is the clear dusk cover. It does looks similar like the clod dust cover, but it is not the same. Those gears are all anodized in blue, so it will look cool. The housing is also anodized in shiny silver. In terms of axle, we probably can have a preview by end of the month. |

| I will have more dimension specs by this weekend. We will start shipping on Tuesday or Wednesday. In terms of motor, I think you can go anywhere from 9 Turn to 21 Turn. Depends on your battery, ESC and pinion gear setup. |

| We are also working on a new clod, tlt-1 axle housing. I will get the final CAD file mid next week, once everything looks good, those products will go into production too. |

| I don't see a way to mount it? Are there tabs or holes or something I am missing? |

| There are 2 holes on each side (as you can see in the picture below): http://www.tracgear.com/product/rc4w...ssion/g3/1.jpg and there are 4 more holes if you flip over. |

|  Will you have replacment internals? Seems stout but you know some people don't know when to pick it up and start a new line.I really like this tranny looks like it will be a hot ticket item. |
