Default Re: GD-600 Gear Reduction Retro for King Hauler

Has anyone tried the gear reduction units hpi sells? They are bolt on with no modifications necessary

I've heard the HPI units work fine but are noisy and require quite a lot of space so you have to move the servos and/ or gearbox location.

GardenTrucking do a 4:1 reduction which bolts directly onto the back of the gearbox which might be a better option - all you need is another (shorter) drive shaft. I didn't take this option because I thought 4:1 would be a bit too slow, but is better for anybody with less confidence with DIY mechanics..
