I just bought one and installed it with my furitek cedar and absolutely love it. It's bonkers in high gear on 2s and 3s is just obscene. Absolutely perfect blend between the stock and crawl gears for the low gear. In fact I wish traxxas offered the 32.7:1 ratio as a gearset on it's own. Unfortunately my bronco is uber scale with an interior so it's a no go as it's way too tall compared to the stock transmission. I also tried to put the 2 speed in my injora tarantula to no avail- unless you basically reconstruct an entire front end the shift lever gets in the way of the front hood and suspension. It's probably a no go for the Meus Ripper as well.

I wonder how it performs with the Injora motor. I’m probably gonna get one but I imagine even with the high gear ratio the 87t is still not as fast as the 48t. At least that’s how the motors felt to me
@rcnewb
@rcnewb 5 ай бұрын
That's what I'm wondering as well. I'm going to keep the Titan in it for a few test drives but I think an Injora 180 Pro will find its way into that transmission sooner or later. Maybe my High Trail won't be the beneficiary of a motor upgrade after all. :)
