Nice write up on the locked tranny!
I'm still using the stock 3 speed with Neu 1515 1y on 4s with the mmm
Top speed right know is 48 mph (radar) with Losi Bolt-On tires.
I went thru 3 stock diffs, now I'm running Cen Gen ring and pinion conversion.
My motor mount is up high (kershaw design) and my lipo is inside the frame above the driveshaft and below the motor. Nothing hanging on the outside of the frame. Still using stock brakes, seem to work ok for me. I like watching the truck move around as it shifts thru the gears. I haven't done a speed run with the new gears, I think they are 10% faster then teh stock rear end ratio.
