i actually plan on running only 5s lipo with the 1800kv motor so i don't end up with my tranny looking like your old one.

i have the 2 speed which is supposed to be stronger than the 3 speed due to wider gears. how would i be able to lock it into 2nd gear? i heard that bl motors have much more torque than nitro engine while shifting and tend to wreck the 2nd speed (or 3rd speed) gear.

since the kershaw motor mount i'm looking at has room for 2 motors, i think i'll ask Dan, the owner of kershawdesigns, if he could drill one side of the mount for the kb45 motor and leave the other side standard feigao/neu sized.

The actual locking procedure of the 2spd tranny is pretty much the same as 3spd (check page 1 of this thread).




So, received my MMM last friday and just had to give it a little test. Everything ran really smooth although I prolly fried the KB45 motor while running in slightly wet (=heavy!) snow. It just stutters and shakes while applying throttle - fortunately the MMM is still working ok, tested it with a new motor.

There's a little shaking (filmed with transmitter & cam at the same hand) snow jumping video at YouTube, which can be viewed by clicking the pic below.
