Im trying to get the rest of my drivelone together for my kilitary build and would like some input from you guys. Im definetly going with a RC4WD trans, but am unsure if I want to go with the R2-2speed or the R2-V2 trans.

Origionally I was going to use their 3 speed trans but have not heard great reviews on it, so I think im ruling it out. I was looking for input from you guys on their 2 speed trans. Whos used it, likes, dislikes, goods, bads, etc etc even if you have just known someone with one it would help me alot to hear something about it. I just cant seem to pull the trigger on my own and I have some RC4WD gift certificates waiting to be spent.

heres a direct link to the 2 speed

and the V2

If its of any matter im running it with a killer transfer case and D40 axles
Thank you very much for any and all input guys.

Go with their R2 2speed and a 4:1 gear reduction and you will be happy. I have 2 of them in trucks and four more in other projects. As for the three speed definitely stay away it only 4WD in 1st gear and real hard to shift.
