Tried searching here and could find nothing on it, but what's the deal with the currently available Associated "Stealth X" transmission? With the difficulty of finding (affording) the originals, is this a viable option to use in builds or is it not suitable in some way because it's a crawler type trans? It's apparently been out for a while and I just learned of it. It's Associated part number 42034.

It’s way too large of a footprint, has no differential (but you can change the speed of the two sides...oval anyone?!), and the outdrives are way too far apart. I bought one to see what it was all about, it’s not a viable option at all.
