I do not know personally but will be interesting to hear how yours works out with the 2-speed.

If you have the room I would think a 2-speed on a larger 1/7th scale would be fun. How do these things shift? Do they use some type of centrifugal clutch mechanism that switches out at a certain RPM?
exactly, a centrifugal clutch and a one way bearing. when the second speed hits and overrides the first, the first just spins freely because of the one way
