Toon · 06:53 AM

I've decided to use the stock plastic 2nd gear, with a UM idler. I really don't think that there will be any durablility problems, particularly as the single-speed will make the transmission a lot more solid.

I will most likely get one of Mike's steel idlers when they're available, then maybe sell the complete Ultramaxx gear set. Or I may just keep them as an investment... :p

Edit: I just thought I'd mention that changing to the single speed transmission, and removing the shifter servo + linkage, has meant a weight saving of 200g (7 oz) on the truck. My truck should come in at just under 12lb RTR now. :D
