Kershaw said 2 weeks on his tranny, so I also picked up another stock 3 speed to get by with. I took my 3 speed apart tonight, the diff gear was miss about half of its teeth, the gear that rides next to the black plastic gear had exploded, nothing but little pieces left, and the top second gear was missing a chunk too. I'm thinking I can remake all the gears that exploded, out of stronger material and better design, but is anybody planning on running with the 3 speed?

BTW with a 50 tooth center diff and a 14 tooth pinion (truggy setup) I would be right back at the same mph as running the 3 speed with stock savage rearend.

I'm also interested to see what the flux has for a stronger drivetrain, I hope they surprise us with something that can take the punishment of the brushless motors.
