| Tranny for super shafty?
Building a super shafty rig. I've made/collected all the parts except the transmission. I have a few ideas for what transmission to use, but I would like to get some ideas and suggestions here as well. It weighs just under 8 pounds without the transmission and battery. Thanks a lot for any input or experience you have on this. Pertinent specs: 17" wheelbase Twin Force axles w/mods Vertigo lockers Steel helical 43/10's and 43/13's (may overdrive the front with the 43/10's) Revo shafts 6.75" tires 4 link suspension 4WD / 4WS Lightweight custom TVP chassis Machined center skid/transmission mount/lower link mount (haven't drilled holes for trans yet) |

I run a R2HD in my TXT axled super. So far so good, no problems with it at all.
