Yes it has a three speed simular to the Bruiser. ( Internally anyway ) The only major differances being that this truck is equiped with a slipper, the gears are all plastic as well as the casing. The truck has some other pretty neat features as well. Like the diffs can be locked or unlocked by removing or installing a pin from behind the removable diff covers, and the leaf springs are tunable. You can add or remove leafs to get the ride and handling you want. Looks like its a pretty neat kit. I am going to order my ball bearing kit this weekend. Won't be building any of it until that gets here though.Asso_man! wrote:Very nice, does it come with a 3 speed tranny?

I needed to check something on this kit, so I could get to fabing up some custom parts for it. In order to do this I needed to assemble it part way so I could check clearances, and fit of what I am doing! Here's some pics of it mached up! This kit is cool as heck! Has tons of potential!
26mm touring car rims fit the tires that come with the kit, so I bought a set of billets!

those wheels are a major improvement over the kit wheels. You would have thought they'd come up with some new ones instead of using the ones from the Mu Type X CC-01 chassis. Keep posting the pics. Cant wait to see it painted!

It will be awhile before it gets painted. I'm going to build a full polished stainless steel frame for her. The rims helped, but need to be 30mm instead of 26mm. I talked to a friend of mine today about machining me a set for this truck. I've got some plans for some differant tires to try as well. ( I will not be putting 2.2's on this truck! I want to keep it looking to scale! ) I do not care for the side profile of this truck. I think it is spot on scale wise, but I wish they would have left the original Jugg body as it was, instead of opening up the fender well openings like they did on this kit. I ordered a Jugg body today. Hopefully it will help the side profile of the truck. Heres a few more pics.MonsterBeetleGuy wrote:those wheels are a major improvement over the kit wheels.
