The Posi-Shift™ transmission with adjustable shift point, offers a steel spur gear and features forward only drive for lighter weight race level performance. Included Kwik-Pit™ Super Start™ gives quick and easy shaft starting or this vehicle can be bump-started using most starter boxes. The 3-channel pistol grip radio gives drivers a comfortable transmitter with lots of features, plus a standard servo and a high-torque SX200BB ball bearing steering servo with metal gears. The RT-X 27 is totally equipped for hard-charging racing action! An instructional DVD and 1-year Stress-Tech™ guarantee complete the package.

Anyone Own a RT-X 27? - 
, they might as well make a kit version because no ones going to want that pos engine again. Although if this new truck does indeed have a metal gear transmission i might have to buy the new tranny on ebay and squeeze it into the old evo. BTW wrote 
and why don't they just sell it like you said, as a kit, or at least engine-less so we can spend the difference on an axial or picco or something, anything else!! LOL
