I saw they are releasing a new machined idler gear as well. Fewer teeth for a low tranny ratio (BrianG will have to update calc.)

Is this purely for speed, or have people been blowing up the tranny? I know they are cast parts, and have seen a few reports of breakage, but IDK if this is a good upgrade or not. I am nearly done collecting all the parts for my Sav XL conversion, but still need the idler and I'm not sure if I should wait for this part or just buy the cast cheapie idler.

Kudos to HPI to keep moving the Sav to an even more solid truck.
