Can you put a multi gear transmission in a Volcano S30 nitro rc form redcat?

IMO, the volcano is to heavy for the 2peed trans to work.
With the added weight, and wider tires it will put more strain on the trans. And the 2speed trans is more prone to breakage than the single speed (naturally, more parts, more to go wrong)
If you want more power...or faster acceleration, then you can gear down the motor with a smaller pinion or larger spur.
Or, you can upgrade the motor to a larger one.

A 2 speed sounds cool, but generally a single speed geared well will work better for offroading.
More than a few tornado s30 owners have swapped out the 2speed trans for the single speed trans that comes in the shockwave. Especially if they are upgrading the motor to a larger one.
The caldera 3.0 is also worth considering. its a big bigger than the caldera.
