Yes I did! A TON of high $$$ parts, not just the motor but the suspension, still learning the platform since the original owner wasn't really a hands-on guy and couldn't speak to all the modifications. Been mainly addressing the fueling issues, but the electronic suspension and DSC tech on deck. Has some pretty trick Tractive DDA setup with a DSC controller that I haven't even touched... bought sight unseen off BAT. Only thing it didn't have (unfortunately) in the build is upgrade the studs to 12mm. Bummed about that but...

Rep Power: 29 I would not be surprised if TPC had already done this to your trans. I would check with them before you tear it down…

Trans is pretty stout except for 3rd gear which is a weak link. It seems most elect to change the 1-3 gears along with main shaft to the GT2 variation. This takes care of two birds. The gear ratios are better and the third gear has a little more meat on it as well. That’s what I will be doing.

What is the approx cost of your gt2 main and 1-3 upgrade?
