Tamiya 3 speed vs Wedico single Speed.

[Big Run]

Hi guys,

Just bought an older basic Wedico truck, with a single speed transmission.
I've always loved the idea of having 3 speeds, but I'm just wondering if it would be worth buying a Tamiya unit to put into my wedico ?

I don't know all that much about them, would it handle the power of the 550 12v motor that sits in the Wedico already ?

Just after pro's and con's really, I have no issues with using Tamiya parts in my Wedico. I'm a long shot off of affording a Wedico 3 speed.

Thoughts ?

Big Run - I'm hooked.
