Well, the dual vtwin must not be as strong as you think. I have killed the roll pin on the top gear, broken input shafts, stripped lower gears, broken the 2 speed sliding dog clutch, and broken tranny cases. The rcm steel idler, and a gmaxx single speed are mandatory. Plus modding a revo input shaft to use the revo spec slipper on the old tranny is a good idea.

All of my damage was done with a single motor setup, 3s to 5s. God knows how many diffs I have killed. Now I have the lst diffs and the modded single speed tranny mentioned above and it can hold up to a 1515 on 8s lipo...
