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

V1 looked nice too..

That is the same center diff setup that I run in my G2R. (Thanks Daf 2+ years later and I still love it) Allong with the Traxxas sway bars, and the 50wt shocks with orange and gold springs and the Mikes Truggy 1/8 diff setup. Diff oils are 7/15/3 and it handles better than some truggys ive seen. 1512/2.5d, 5s and a Quark. I dont race it that often anymore cuz I usually race the 1/8 buggy and truggy now and there isnt much of a MT class around here any more. I did race it a couple times last summer and the last time I took it out I destroyed the rest of the field by like 5+ laps in the main. My qualifing times would have put me in the truggy A-main. I haven't bothered racing it sice then cuz in all honesty it just isnt that fun if there is no competition. LOL That chassis with the center diff like that is just flat out not fair if you are racing traditional tranny driven MTs, but as far as a racing chassis goes, its flat out the best revo setup Ive seen.

I did notice that the transmision rule was dropped from the RCPro rules this year too and was considering bringing the beast out of retirement for a couple races this year. However, I did read somewhere that the rule omision was just an oversight error and that they would be putting it back in again. Let me know what they tell you in your email inquiry Crazy. I'm interested to hear the answer as well.

Nice truck Jhautz, I will post the Email when it comes, hopefully soon

No Email on the transmission rules yet, but i think i have a solution to running a center diff in a tranny. I found some fastlane machine tranny adapters for the FLM chassis in mikes shop, I have them coming and when money allows, I'll get the tranny and other things to make this conversion happen.

I have a question though, I know the tranny between the Emaxx (3095) and Erevo are the same, Which mount would you use, Emaxx or Erevo? I'm leaning towards the Emaxx because it looks to sit better for weight dist, but higher COG. the E-revo might be ok
