emaxx tranny
 

can someone tell me how many steel idlers i need for a gmaxx single speed?

One.

aren't there two idlers in the tranny?

in the two speed, yes

Single Speed = 1 Idler
2 Speed Tranny= 2 Idlers

You eleminate one idler with the single speed with some other gears as well.

i'm sorry for wasting everyones time. i just found the g1 conversion instruction sheet and understand the diagram. i was going by memory, and not a very good one, earlier. thanks for your help, carl.

Anytime, Carl! And you didnt waste my time, always ready to help a member!

thanks. i know i ask a lot of questions, but this truck (g2r) is my first "custom" built rc. its taking forever to get all the parts. i am learning this brushless deal little by little, thanks to this forum and its regulars. thanks again. hope to have some new pics when i'm done with the truck so everyone here can see what they contributed to.
