Work has been moving along. Got the basic chassis all back together. Got (one of two) trannies modded, and got the bottom plate for the batt/esc tray completed and mounted. Still have some work on the batt tray. Needs straps and some guardrails. Then just need to mount electronics and then I will be good to go. I'm waiting on 500K oil for CD, so I got an FOC for the stock 2.5 tranny and have that mounted. Weight was 220g IIRC, but got excited and didn't write it down. I'll get better weights later.

Did the 2nd gear locker BrianG style. I notched the clutch slightly to fit the 4mm screws, and tapped the 2nd gear as well. I lined up the clutch so that the drive arm is engaged, and the notches hold it solid as well. I'm sure I could have used just two screws, but no biggie. I made the notch in the clutch so that the arm could not disengage even it wanted to. Its def solid. I had socket head screws, but button heads would work as well. The screws must be 4x10mm tho. Any longer and it comes out the back and into the drive gear (not shown). I have man brakes, but this way I can simply switch back and forth between motor brake&reverse or man brakes and Fwd only. May just keep the 2nd tranny so I have one with a CD/rear brake, the other with a solid axle and possibility of reverse. Its easy to swap the two out.
