Little update on what I have done so far, added a new 2spd tranny and HPI metal spur with robinson pinion and things are bit more quiet. I ran it for the first time with the 2spd this afternoon(been really sick and still am so ventured out anyways) and it shifts fine, I was in a vacant parking lot so I had tons of room to test it cause I was sure I would have to play with the shift point some, had no blown tranny to report so I just think the ones with issues are the larger lipo users. I will say on the 4s and 49/17 she was darn fast, it would at times lift one front wheel and donut that thing like crazy.
Now stupid me totally forgot about esc brakes not working lol so I have no savage brakes to install right now and im flat broke so its a bit scary to run this thing with no brakes
Here is a question im thinking over and hopefully someone can help me out, originally I locked the 2gear in the 3spd tranny and now I have the fully working 2sp tranny, once its in 2nd will I essentially be in the same ratio as my locked up 3sp was? If so I wasted money buying a new tranny but oh well and I can put it back in and have brakes and reverse!
