I havent seen a 2speed mutilator and honestly ive seen the car in person only once and seeing ur in MIAMI ur prolly the only one i have seen are u the guy that shows up with his wife??? that i met u at the track and then later in tropical park??? im luke the guy with the big weedwacker car (the onroad one)

the inferno gt 2speed can be modded to fit most truggies id jsut have to see ur car and see how close everything lines up, i do got a 2speed on my inferno st truggy and i used the inferno gt 2speed

I am sure the thunder tiger st-1 2 speed can work. Aren't most center differentials a standard size?

I think this should drop right in, it is for an Ofna ravager:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHWB6&P=Z

Here is why I believe it will also fit the mutilator: I have both a mutilator and a ravager. I just cross checked the part numbers for the center diff assembly and both share the same center diff plate (40041), center diff mount (40040), and center diff assembly (internal gears, diff case, brake cap joints). The diff mount posts are different (longer) to raise it up on the mutilator because of the bigger spur gear.

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

good point, didn't think of that, let me check what the gear ratios will be

edit: here they are:

stock mutilator: 13T clutch, 62T spur: ratio is 4.77

ravager 2spd:
1st gear: 11T clutch, 51T spur: ratio is 4.63
2nd gear: 15T clutch, 47T spur: ratio is 3.13

Looks like first gear is going to be pretty much the same ratio as the stock mutilator gearing. Having a mutilator I can say that the stock gearing gives awesome acceleration, so if higher top speed is what you're after, this would do it. Too bad it can't increase the ratio for 1st gear though. I guess if someone is happy with the low end already, this 2spd would be a good buy.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I'm no expert. I don't have a good feel on how much a little change in gear ratio will affect your acceleration My gut tells me the difference in 4.77 and 4.63 should be negligible

i honestly dont know but ima be a tropical this week 4sure since im geting the new crank shaft for my 5th scale and i wanan see what kind speeds i can pull out of it u know me always trying to go faster

ill take the whole 2speed off one of my inferno gts and well see how good it fits on ur car if it looks like it will kinda line up then u can get a whole 2speed from ebay

also if u go with the inferno 2speed i know 1st gear is 47 teeth and second gear is 42 teeth


another thing that might be holding u back are those wheels u got they might be too dam heavy too, did ofna hook u up with a new motor again??

Mixed feelings about this.

With a 2 speed you gotta rip out your center diff if im not wrong.

Just feel that the center diff is one of the most important things in a truck IMO
