I see no reason the stock flux tranny will not last... It has all metal gears. Sealing the halves of the case with some rtv silicone and running some oil in it would help. The lucas or stp oil stabilizer is a favorite with a few members here.

Keep in mind how fast these gears turn, it crates alot of heat. Some oil on the gears will help with both heat reduction and lubrication. The oil stabilizer is sticky, so it stays on.

LOL dunno if i need any to know anymore... lol.


That is a brilliant idea. Never even thought of running oil in it. I will give that a go first and see how it runs.

They dont leak from bearings etc?

Mine is a Savage X nitro. So will have to get the metal gears from flux box. But thats ok will find them no probs.

My "phase 2" plan is to go with a center diff. I'd like to see what others have used for center dogbones with a center diff. I bought the truck with the KD tranny already in it. It was someone elses project that was never finished.

I don't have high hopes for that tranny with the 1717.

I personally like the simplicity of a center diff...in stead of a tranny. Less to worry about IMO
