Maybe, but I'd probably take this one first...

they half shafts were always easy to mess up. I'm not sure it they would hold up to the abuse of larger tires and rock crawl'n.

That first trans you showed is out of a 20 year old tamiya kit (the brat, blackfoot,etc), it is a big trans and very hard to find parts for. Stick to something that is still being made, you will appreciate it when you shell a gear

Stealth tranny's have been used. I hear they are a very strong tranny with the hardened inner gears.

Losi XXX tranny's can have sliders. I am still trying to find my instruction manual to get the part numbers.

I just bought this stealth b2 tranny from RCU, http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=116722

Shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to fit the stock chassis? Also gonna go with lathe motor and 9/84 gearing.

Anyone run a similar tranny? Does it perform well?

NO, NO don't use the black foot tranny. The axles strip, the diff gear strip they are lemos.

i used the b4 tranny. i used a axle from a maxx, and the part for the roll pin goes into the tranny and drill a hole the all of it. it wasnt easy because of it being made of harded steal. but it works great.

I used a stealth tranny in Fungus ( http://www.rcpics.net/img/61865 ). I have another rig with a pede in it aswell. In all honesty I like the stealth better. I hollowed out some traxxas yokes and drilled some holes for pin mounting ( http://www.rcpics.net/img/61632 ) and the thing works great (I'm not down with searching for dogbones.) The whole thing is half the weight of the pede and the gears hold up amazingly. I'm running a 15/87 gearing ( great wheels speed and perfect torque with a 55t of course.) Hope thats in any way helpful.

What exactly did you do to the pede yokes to get them to fit? I am not following you.

And How did you lock the inner diff in the b4 trans?
