I'm still running the stock 3 speed with no issues.
how many batteries have you through it? and where do you drive it? in a pit with jumps etc or more like on big grass fields etc?

of course i do not claim the multiple speed tranny will not hold up in any case. just my own experience plus several threads i read during the last several years in different forums made me becoming very skeptic about the durability of those in the long run. but if it holds up so much the better.

I currently have reverse locked-out on my MMM and use the Savage mech brakes. I run on everything from dirt, paved road, grass, gravel pits (the most fun) and baseball diamonds. I'm not sure how many battery packs have been thru it, but I did the conversion as soon as the truck was released, so a summer worth of driving. I hope the tranny lives, because I love to watch the truck shift thru the gears. I did destroy a servo saver steering arm and then a servo itself, I have the big Hitec sevro now with an additional sevro saver right on the servo. I really didnt like the truck until I installed the Losi tires and it made a huge night and day difference for me. I'm not sure why it eats the stock diff pinions, my b-revo has been thru one, but I would have thought the savage would be stronger. I also think I could gear up alittle if I wanted everything runs super cool with my current setup.
