Thanks,
By the way, I raced this truck, with the center diff, the week before last and found that the truck was very slow compared to the other nitros. The gear ratio was 18.5:1 so I'm not sure why I couldn't get much top speed down the straight. Althought the truck was very easy to control, I was really lacking in the speed department. I still took third place in the A-Main but most of that could be attributed to the other guys breaking down. :rolleyes:

Anywho, I removed the center diff, re-installed the two speed tranny and regained my monster power and speed and took first last week. Therefore, I am merging the two together :)

Its still a Revo tranny (just a few mods here and there).
I removed the 28t output gears and the output shaft. I added another 43t gear which you can see in the pic. I removed the bottom of the tranny so that the 43t gear can mesh with the center spur and had to remove some material on top of the tranny case so the 43t gear can spin freely. I used some lexan to encase the two speed module and keep it clear of dirt and debris. The tranny now mounts backwards which requires the f/r diffs to be filpped. I did this so I could mount the batteries on the left side of the truck giving me a lower CG and more evenly distributed weight.

I should have the aluminum diff mounts completed tomorrow night and should get my new spur gear for the diff in a few days.
Just in time to race on Saturday :D

Cheers
