I got an Email to carlton epps about it and hope to hear something soon

Chassis aside, I don't know about you, but i prefer a center diff, and if you have to have a tranny, that doesn't leave you many options. I also prefer mechanical brakes as that allows you to adjust the brake bias f/r. Something I don't think could be done with the G2R. Mechanical brakes and a center diff leave the Revo chassis/tranny the only option. If you can get away without a tranny, then no doubt, I'd go with the slipperential and the Gorilla chassis, but then again, no mechanical brakes. For me and my driving style, the Revo chassis with the Revo tranny/center diff/mechanical brakes is the best if I'm gonna be racing it.

Also, did you ever consider dropping the single speed and sticking a center diff in the E tranny? I forgot who, but there where a couple people on here who designed one for it.

I was always more of a motor brake guy myself, I'm also more of a single speed guy as well. I know i could make a Nitro conversion out of a revo, I also could take a 3.3 Tmaxx tranny and put a center diff in it. Why adapt something When it was available and easier but not anymore? I loved the slipperential transmission, it was perfect, three gears (spur, top gear and diff) with a hot bodies 1/8 buggy diff at that. I had the V1 and had no troubles with it whatsoever, no leaks, no breakage and the slipper worked every time, when it was supposed to
