Kershaw tranny is atleast better than the stock 3spd (even modded) and it can be "reversed" which positions the motor towards front of the car.
Center driveshafts and gears come with transmission, I just had to get spare gear to replace the broken one.
Flux tranny should be quite durable too. The choice is prolly done by the motor position.

Complete CEN diffs go between 30 and 50$ at eBay, that's about all the conversion costs.

Just been all over the net reading about the cen mod and seems like a good deal. I like the fact you can flip your motor, the front end needs some weight for sure. I just put in a flux tranny in my conversion and its doing ok so far, before that I had a 2 speed locked up but I need to change my gearing cause its much slower now.

Another plus for the KD direct drive is having reverse. Just be careful not to have it hit to hard or your in for some $$$. Make sure you program your esc curve to come into reverse a little slowly. On another note I've had very few problems with a locked 2-speed tranny. I broke the tabs off once, but I epoxy'd the last one and no problems.

hey,i was wondering what your max speed

thanks
