Anyone running the Robinson trans gears, what do yall think

[fastbaja5b]

It seems most people who have temp problems with the clutch, are straight away locked into 2nd? Is that true?

Just finished my conversion will test temps tomorrow, I am retaining the 2 speed for now but I ordered a set of these gears, I figure better to be too strong than not strong enough

i kept having issue's with stripping out the topshaft/input gear on my tranny and since i installed the Robinson Racing wide ratio gear set NO MORE problem's!

i run a nitro picco .26 red dot with an 053 pipe

one other thing you can also do is the "pin" mod which can be found on the traxxas site ;)

i have the same problem he was haveing and i still have the two speed set-up

i think it has alot to do with the weight of the truck + a small clutch + alot more power than the clutch was ever designed to hold = high clutch temps and bad clutch ware.

tekno says its not a problem but i have given up on the clutch and the long shank pinions arent a good idea so im not really sure what the real fix is
