Proven they certainly are, but everyone complains about the ratios.


"A close ratio 3 speed gearset might go over better then a 9 speed. If the calculated ratios were done so that no one needed aux gear reducers, it would be a big hit. "

"You sure can,
there are planetary reducers available that will bolt up to a 540 motor and others that could couple to a shaft, but planetary reducers are not what i'm set up for manufacturing wise. "


sure sounds like it

Hi, i originally developed the 9 speed transmission on the advise of someone fairly prominent that is involved in the hobby that it would be well received.

That advise for whatever reason was clearly incorrect.

I have been trying to ascertain exactly what it is that is required and inform what is possible from a manufacturing perspective.

I am keen to to recoup the considerable developement costs of the 9 speed transmission and perhaps a more simple product can do that....??

At the moment i'm just researching to find out what is wanted and what isn't...

A suggestion was put to me that a multi speed reduction box that would bolt directly to the back of the Tamiya box Might be popular......???

What are the thoughts on that....??

Personally I don't think we need more gears, expecially if it means having to use another channel on a already full radio
