What do you think about this? Does anyone run this already? I spoke with the guy who made it earlier today, and he swears by it. I'm thinking about getting one of them. It's supposed to be pretty sick for a one speed set up...

If you have alot of hills where you are I would not recommend that set up, if it's mostlly flat then I would recommend it. When ever we sell a set up we email and ask the people what kind of conditions they will be running in before shipping it out.

Status: offline 		I just like the idea of not stripping gears very often. Does this just lose power on hills? I like driving (trying to drive) around a local dirt track. I like being able to drive where ever I feel like driving (ie. through grass, on dirt, up hills, over jumps, and just plain flat. I'm not really a catagorized driver (yet). I just like to go play.

Status: offline 		ehroof...how much does this effect your off road or uphill driving??? when i spoke with dennis, he seemed pretty stoked about it...

a better question would be...How does this upgrade affect your vehicles in any way?

Status: offline 		Cool. Thanks guys. I'll probably just try one out, and if for some reason I don't like it...I'll switch back to the stock set up.

BTW...do you strip less gears with it???
