[RC-Monster Mike]

Glad you like it, Sam. The design goal at the time was purposeful to say the least: The gear ratio was developed based on 40k motor rpms yielding around 40mph +/- top speed, with available pinion/spur options - this was pretty ideal for race situations(and still is, actually). I raced quite frequently at the time and was sponsored by GorillaMaxx(and did a fair amount of R&D as well as making a few parts for the Gorilla kits). The Gorilla mount was too flimsy and the stock tranny setup had a very high Cg. I wanted a center differential for optimum handling, and the slipper for motor longevity(rotors had a bad habit of dislocating from the shaft) and traction control....they say necessity is the mother of invention, so the Slipperential transmission was born! When Gorilla released the G3 kits, the chassis braces no longer had the holes used to mount the motor mount for my setup - I briefly redesigned it with the Gorilla Revo compatibility(only made 2 or 3 of those) and discontinued the part - followed up by the patented Slipperential center diff we offer today. :-)
