Thanks for your reply. I see your point, but with the larger diameter wheels keeping the reduction of the shaft to the diff seems like a good compromise. And keeping the diff action in is probably good too
The bulkheads are a bit narrow also, and twin moters with the assorted ESC = getting expensive

Unfortunately I don't have a shaftdriven touring car anymore to give it a try.

one more question: am I right in thinking you get a stronger effect of the drag brake adjustment without the reduction on your GT12?
