the question should be - do you need to have 2 or 3 speed transmission? big BL systems have so much power that you dont need 1st gear. at least I dont. i can wheelie even at almost top speed if i hit throttle bit hard :).

a have seen to many stripped savage transmissions lately (3 trucks/3 weeks/3 transmissions) and they were in standard nitro savage. no dirt inside. they just stripped. maybe alloy cas would help as the plastic has some flex that could have caused it

with big BL I would go for as simple transmission as possible
