Tray installed! Messed up my stock digital steering servo during installation and wedging the servo into place (stupid me) so now I'm debating ordering a radiopost multi purpose servo. After reading up on the engineering behind radiopost.....seems very legit

This thing looks and feels damnnnn near bullet proof. I say near because as most know, that's a one of a kind sales pitch in efforts to being "bulletproof"
Here you all Can see the comparison between the bell housings thickness and the Vertigo's vented clutch bell.....

I decided on 17 tooth first gear and 21 tooth second gear to give me the best of both worlds

I posted the weight comparisons to the vertigo single gear housing so you all would know the more rotating mass on your actual motor side.
 
Modified center diff looks amazing! Going to compliment my DemonRC 2-speed VERY well I believe....
ama2equ2.webpsy6e3yne.webp. Time to attempt getting this 2-speed in! 2eqaqepa.webp (next couple days I imagine...... and I remembered my Chocolate bar this order! Hehe

I just threw the 2-speed in before we headed to the family for Christmas!8u7a9upu.webp

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
 
2-Speed installed!
Thanks to the surprise shipment from the boys in Houston @DemonRC....
The only problem I had with the modified/2-speed were the single brake screws setup. They protruded through the bracing and bc of the DRC 2-speed adjustable lockers IS SO HUGE, I had to dremel the smallest screws offered in the kit and use loctite to secure the brake pad bolts. The bottom brake HOLDER didn't need any modifying. I'm sure when I go dual fronts, I wont have that issue. Thought I would throw this out there. Other than that, great kits between the two combined! Nada issue with a little dremel/screw cut

Went bought a GoPro Hero3 black for you guys with this 2-speed.....don't know how to properly work a GoPro as its my first so any pointers would be7yqy6ega.webp awesome!
 
1st gear is 17T and 2nd gear ratio is 21T. I used the stock 19T on the rear engine casing side and button head screws on my front (2) motor mounts. If I had some random size T spacers then I'm sure the front could be matched up with spacers like the rear. That's my ONLY suggestion to DemonRC on the front mounts. It seems DemonRc in the future might be able to offer a more stock ish solution with spacer per customers specs. I'm confident with the button heads though. NADA one complaint. Waiting to get this Go pro mounted up and recording for you's. Anyone know how to work this GoPro hero3 BY ANY CHANCE?? The goofy thing didnt come with Destructions! Lol
 
Thanks for the answer, but could you upload a picture so i can see how it looks under the chassis?

Bought a GoPro to show some of you's. Should be going run out there todayze4etyty.webp
 
Could you post a picture of the UNDERSIDE of the chassis, to see how the engine is attached?

How does the 1st and 2nd gears mesh?


Thanks.

I used button heads on the clutch side motor mounts and used the stock 19 tooth spacers on the back 2 motor mounts for now until Demon can get me the correct spacers for the front.
