Yeah, there would be nothing stopping running the CD in the reverse direction. I would have to disable the man brakes tho, and I'm not sure how motor braking w/ a CD would be. Seems like it would get wierdly balanced pretty unpredictable, but then again I've never tried it. The big diff in the trannies would be if I will like the CD or not, or at least having the option to quickly change between a solid center & CD. Aside from the small notches, everything is reversable should I decide to sell it or not. Perhaps someone would even want a locked tranny for their conversion? :) Either way, I have two clutches, one is modded, and prob will stay that way for a while until I see how it drives and what I want to do w/ it.

Like me if you would so happen to want to sell it!!

I am trying to sell stuff to get my e-revo finished. It is taking forever LOL. I have taken a lot of notes from you guys

Pretty much wrapped up the batt mount and esc tray. Everything is together, so I threw some batts in and took for a drive. Very pleased with results. The truck plants and takes off with very little wheelie action (which was one of the main goals of this build.) I can also accel a lot harder w/o fear of the backflips.

I'm still waiting on some parts, so I mounted the Rx temp on the st servo and made up a makeshift antenna mount. The ESC is held down well w/ HD velcro, but I want to work on getting this a little straiter and more secure. I have the solid axel tranny in now as well, as I'm still waiting on 500K oil from AMain hobbies. I also have a new Futaba 3PM coming, so I will figure out a better mount and hopefully be able to use the BEC w/o glitches (still using RX pack.) Also have some Ti tie rods/ hinge pins, and some red tubes for the pushrods on order as well.

I still have stock diffs, as I've laid out quite a bit for some goodies on the side. My other truck lasted months on the stockers, but I think I already killed the rear. I was launching it really hard in the street testing it, and now its clicking... 1/8s may have to go in as well... Going to try a stocker in the interim as I've done the wallet some damage, so those may have to wait.






Need to clean up some wires as well w/ the batts. Everything is close now, so I can trim things down. Some other wiring may change w/ new Rx and BEC. Enjoy in the meantime. :)
