All of my damage was done with a single motor setup, 3s to 5s. God knows how many diffs I have killed. Now I have the lst diffs and the modded single speed tranny mentioned above and it can hold up to a 1515 on 8s lipo...

It holds up just fine if you drive it right. My Twin on 3s will outrun a 1D on 4s in a Revo, I've already done it. I'm sure you have seen my videos, the truck is plain fast and has
too much torque. I use 1st gear at lower speed bashing and 2nd gear on speed runs and racing. If you have had bad luck building your trannies, thats no reason to say a Twin doesn't have the power. I run my truck very hard and it has yet to fail. Single speed isn't mandatory, nor even recomended if you ask me. A V-Twin really benefits from 1st gear at low speeds. I broke a roll-pin way back when the truck was a single VXL, replaced that with a bent hex key and its been off to the races ever since. My recomendation is go with the RCM idlers(I have a set I never installed because my stock ones have never failed) and replace them when your stock ones break. Here is my twin.
