Is there multi geared single speed trannies ?
Yes THIS tranny (see pic) is single speed. It comes stock in ALL Volcanos. I like this tranny because it offers a LOWER gear Ratio than YOUR style of tranny (which comes out of a buggy? ). I like the low gear ratio because it works better with my big Tires (see pic). What I mean is that I get a better (Quicker) jump off the line and better launch comming out of a sharp (slow ) turn. This is good for the kind of Bashing I do. I know they had lots of problems with these trannies stripping gears in the bad ol' days, but I have never had ANY problems with mine And I am VERY hard on it (ask Kuppler, Lol). I DO maintain it by Disassembly, cleaning and lubing bearings. And I watch my ClutchBell/Pinion mesh closely.
Ehroof,...now that youve got a Volcano SV I'll be interested to hear your comparison versus the single gear tranny you have in your STX. I think you'll find the SV to your liking. Let us Know!
