Hey Brandon...Just ran my Violator last night with this new 2spd. And this thing is fast...! I bought mine in Orange City from a friend that opened a new RC store..! $85.00 plus tax. Get it...! You`ll like it if you can find a big parking lot ...If your Ofna has the .32 you`ll be running 50+ mph easy ! Good luck.

On sunday`s there is a very cool BMX track a few mile`s away from me that I will sometime`s go play around on ..but for the most part I just run my RC`s on a great paved parking lot across the street from me it`s new asphalt and at nite it`s all lite-up...nite or day it`s alot of fun.....You know how the weather is down here ! Hell my friend`s and I will run in HURRICANE`S...! I like the pavement ..
Let me know if you want a 2spd. ? I`ll give you my friend`s ph# get a good deal...alot cheaper then TH.

Well really the Violator can go about 50mph and the with the 2speed will give it a big boost and changing the gear ratio on the 2 speed will boost it too!!Then put a jp-3 with a top end engine and BAM YOU R MOVING!!But street cars.......buggies arent really made to keep up with a street car.My uncles electric car can go from 0-75 in about 1 or 2 sec.his tires even came off when it first took off it was crazy.Those kind of street cars I dont even bother to race lol.But........I dont have any vids because back before I didnt have a video camera.It depends on how much money your wanting to spend.

I just got my violator. It has the force .32 which is pretty fast bone stock. How much of a difference does the 2 spd make on the dirt? When does it hit the shift point, I mainly run BMX style tracks so the straights are not that long. I was also wondering if anyone has tried the Torsen diffs on their Violator yet. If you have let me know what you think of them.

The shift point`s can be adjusted on the 2spd tran`s...depend`s on the size of the track..and where you want 2nd gear to hit..! I adjust mine on pavement and measure off how many FT. to determine the correct shift point for a certain track...As for my opinon I like the 2spd..My Violator will do 50+...and it`s cool to hear it shift. Good luck

Uhmmm I might look into it then and your Violator can do more then 50 because you dont need a 2 speed to hit 50 it already can do that.I wonder how fast it can really go.How much of a push do u think a 2 speed gives a car?

I am going to switch to a bump start, I have one on the way from TH. I am stationed in Japan and even though the LHS's over here are awesome some of their stuff is very expensive, such as bump starters, so I have to order them and wait.[

You can always change the gears on a two speed also.So if your two speed isent fast enough for ya then make the 2 speed more properly geared.But I just think that would be to much speed for a buggie.If I was drag raceing then it would be a good idea.Im also looking into the center torsen diff for my car as well.
