Wheely king trans, The tranny is really a terrible one to use as it is so massive and has a poor reduction. The internals on that case have a less then 2:1 ratio. I plan to make a compact gearbox maybe out of a bunch of pinions or another transmission near the trucks original engine compartment to further reduce the drivetrain. The bench seat and interior hog a lot of space down the middle of the truck and I didn't want the 70t 32p spur sticking through the seat or be the lowest point on the truck.
Using the dias leafs currently, just lexan cnc springs basicly. Can't tell if I like them just yet as they are extremely soft an they wrap and flex a lot. But, at least they won't get worn and bent like the metal springs. Just once this truck is RTR the springs might sag a bit. I guess I could always put some shocks on it with internal springs from a clicker pen.
