i have just retired my hyper pbs from the track (after 3 yrs), and now im just going to use it for bashing. i am looking at puting a 2spd in it to keep up with my friends on-road and was wondering how much faster these buggys go with this mod? i know they do about 40-45mph stock, is it worth the money? has anyone got any vids? cheers
Personally i would say no, 2 speed's work great if your only gonna be running on pavement, and smooth flat dirt. Any kind of jumps, bunmps, or rough terrain will put alot fo stress on your drivetrianw ith a 2-speed, and cause it to fail preatty rapidly. stock the PBS does around 38-40, youll never get a stock PBS to run 45mph. with the 2-speed youll proably run high 40's. I personally woudl much much rather be able to run ym buggy hard off-road, then sacrifice that for a bit of extra speed.
