Thanks for posting the picture.
I always wanted one but never saw one back in the day. Perhaps they were banned by ROAR?

always drooled over them but never saw one in person. simple design, same basic concept still used. I bet they work great! Until you try using reverse

I forgot about the reverse part. I think you could only go forward with them. The other problem was once it was attached to your motor, they didn't fit much due to the added length.

I think the only suitable motor for this 2 speed thing is the Tamiya short motor for M-cars......Lowgear wrote:I forgot about the reverse part. I think you could only go forward with them. The other problem was once it was attached to your motor, they didn't fit much due to the added length.

Interested how well they work also. I know there's 2 versions, one won't do reverse and the more expensive version will. There's quite a few of them on the bay.
