If I were to upgrade my tranmission to a two speed, is there anything else that would need to be done or replaced before I install the two speed tranny?
 
Is the two speed from the manufacturer and made for your application? If it is..it probably comes with the Pinion gears and the Spur gears. If its made for your certain application with the stock engine....nothing would be needed to be done. (weird wording)

Everything should come included in the kit of the 2 speed transmission(unless the manufacturer of the tranny stated). Anything needed to be done? Clean your car, esp. around the drive train where you will be working on. Have the right tools and thread lock. Review the instructions so you get a nice and clear understanding of what to do and whats next. It will also be good if you let us know what car is this.:naughty:
 
Stepps7,
You will get faster and better responses to your question if you are more descriptive in your heading.

Such as:
2 speed question.
help with 2 speed etc..

You should also add more detail such as what kind of RC you have.

We love to help :bling: just need more info to give the proper answers.

Thanks

I am going to purchase the HPI Nitro RS4 RTR 3, and was wondering what I would have to do if I wanted to put in a 2 speed transmission. Sorry about the heading...you gotta remember, I'm new to this. ;)
 
Stepps, I have an HPI RS4 3 RTR, I added the two speed tranny to mine, as well as an OS 10e carb, and better header. It is not very difficult and it will come with everything you need. However can I suggest going with the SS? It already has a two speed tranny which will cost you another $55, two needle carb, figure another $50-60, where as the RTR has a single needle car, and you WILL want to change that stock carb, it runs crappy with that carb. The RTR also has a terrible, restrictive exhaust header, the SS has a much better header, and the SS engine is considerably better than the 15 FE in the RTR. The SS also has adjustable turnbuckles where the RTR does not. Out of the box the SS is a much better car than the RTR. You will need to buy a radio, reciever, and two servos though for the SS. I am not sure what your budget is but the SS runs about $269, then you can get a great radio like the JRXS3 for about $200 more which comes with two servos and a reciever. So for about $500 by the time you buy a glow igniter and some fuel (which you will need anyway for the RTR, you will have a very nice car and radio. You will easily exceed that adding all the aftermarket parts just to get the RTR where the SS is, and you will only have an OK radio and servos as opposed to a really nice radio and good servos.
