Default Three speed transmission???

Does anyone know of a 1/10 scale 4x4 truck that has a three speed transmission? I want to do some custome work. I know the savage has one but its to big.

Does it matter if it is electric? Tamiya Ford F-350 High-Lift Kit?

The Menace .21 has 3 speed. The savage has an upgrade for the 2 speed tranny to become a 3 speed.

But isn't the third gear on the Savage used for reverse?

No. The savage has a 3 speed as an option and a reverse module as another option. But he already said in the first post that he doesn't want a savage transmission.

the mad force aint that fast, put it up agaisnt a propper race truck like my lst (which is 2 speed) and it will lap you.

as for the menace, yes its a 3sp 4 wd car. pretty nice but a bit weak. owned one and the 21xtr 3e and wasn't too impressed

I believe that there is a conversion available for the T-Maxx and Revo transmissions to make them 3 speed but it's kind of pricey. Both of those trucks are 4x4 and closer to 1/10 scale than the Savage.

Ya its made by rad racing. I sent them two e-mails and left them phone calls and they never responded. I want to put it in my revo with a modded picco. Or swap out the tranny with one from another truck that has a three speed in it. khayyat do you have a link to your truck?
