Default Re: Close ratio gearset for Tamiya...???

Rather than re-inventing an already good working 3spd trans.. how about designing a transfer case similar to the HiLift 3spd that will bolt directly onto the exsisting semi trk 3spd with very little modification?

Simply adding to the front of the bottom shaft of 3spd to power front axle, in many short wheelbase applications there is not enough room between the trans & front driven axle to fit the driveshaft squarely with proper driveline angles. The driveline has to come from the back of the trans.

I've been modifiying the hilift t-case to fit my regular semi trk 3spd, but it's a rather pricy option by having to acquire the entire hilift 3spd to do so and then having all the wasted parts left over.. these 3spd's never wear out.
