The R2 is ok, i had a HD version in my mud truck F350 with 2.2 and after sealing all the mounting holes with silicone it was fine. I have a 18T pinion i believe in it right now and its powerful as all heck but very slow, even with the aggressive all terrain tires locked rear axle im feeling the truck is gonna get stuck a lot with a load of dirt or rock and then add a trailer...but with all the weight it might just grunt it self through stuff. Guess im use to all my scale trucks that have wheel speed to power out of mud and hill climbs. Its also kind of noisy, and im sure its due to the large gear mesh RC4WD uses, its louder than my semi transmission's and F350 transmission
