Savage shifting with BL motor.

Well, getting rid of reverse/first gears (and OWB) from the tranny, servos, and associated linkages/parts can reduce weight quite a bit. Not to mention a much simpler setup.

Yeah i am leaning towards that direction now. Should i lock it into third and run shorter gearing?? I have the 3 speed and want all the top end i can get. I have a 16t pinion and it still is way to powerfull and would like to get more top end.

hi

our experience with a modded 2speed in a BL savage are not very good. we only bash and very rarely drive on a track or tracklike environment.
we had problems with breaking gears and bearings in the gearbox repeatedly.
i can hardly imagine a smooth shifting without a clutch taking away the immediate power and/or a quite torqueless bl motor. but it seems to work out well for some few guys.
i fix the gearbox in first gear with such a shaft. there are plenty of gearing options playing with the spur and pinion.

The two speed has been working fine for me, but I do run the slipper a little looser than full tight. It shifts better than my revo, that is for sure!
