Has anyone tried this?

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere allready.

its great, with the slayer tranny you have alot more options for gear ratios

with my 1515 2.5d on 5 cell i had monster bottom end but was limited to about 35mph with the proline tires

with the slayer tranny the top end is about 45mph on 5 cell
and i have almost no mid throtle lift so it worked out great in my race revo.

the only down side is traxxas hasnt put out a diff for the slayer tranny

did you get the slayer tranny case as well? I hear a cd is comming.
What gearing are you using? How are your temps? And are you using the wide ratio?
Thanks.
