Been there, read it. You were the inspiration for me to try this method! I liked the idea of using the Revo, but was skeptical of the durability of the epoxy, especially on the nylon gears. Time will tell if any of our methods have durability issues.

Yep, thanks. I figured that out too, after putting the tranny halves back together for the umteenth time. Was pretty obvious, but obvious is always the first thing ya miss, eh?

I like your machined part! Very well done.

And locking up is what this is all about. It basically creates an E-maxx tranny out of the Revo tranny - but allows for all other stock Revo drivetrain parts to be used, and no chassis mods need to be made. Others looking to convert a Revo can use what they have, without buying another trans.

Thanks to you guys for the kind words, and for the information/inspiration!
