rocco, that'll be enough for now. That is until I release my next secret weapon. Need a hint at what it is? Lets just say, it's (IMO) the biggest advantage a truggy has over my revo.

Tune, you can't seriously be putting in a center diff! I've seen that thread on the Traxxas site also but that guy lost his rear brakes. I'd go with a rear extended Revo chassis and a custom 2 brake setup with adjustable bias. Then strap in a big block. Hmmmm.....

brakes are over rated like tunes says and simply put, the best thing you could do for a revo is a center diff IMO. I don't see how you do it with only rear brakes Bruce, I'd rather have just front brakes. (I've had both in the past, only rears, and only fronts)

come to think of it wouldn't you have to race unlimited at DD's races?

for the most part, yes. It's the single biggest advantage for the truggies. Enough advantage to put them in their own class IMO.

NO thus far in a truggy usually its 2 speed with no diff or single speed with a diff. that may change because I've heard of the future Ofna Truggy that will have both a 2 speed and center diff.

Tex,

SO I understand your ?, You Have a truggy with a transmission?

After the gear trail issue the rules default to height of the base of the engine, With wheels off and suspension completely compressed if it is more than 1.5" off the ground it is a standard MT. (basiclly a non pan chassis)

Mammoth ST would be a truggy. basically anything that is on a flat chassis will be in the truggy class regardless of it being center diff or 2 speed of any kind.
