wow it seems as if everyone who is for this cant read. you say that we said that it wouldnt work. No one has posted on this forum if a two speed on an electric motor would work or not. anyone who says it wont just has to be shown a picture of an emaxx. What we have said is that there is no need for one and that building one that would actually fit in an xmod would be very very difficult.

Anyway now that thats out there lets look at capts idea. It would probably work but you would have to play with different types of springs to get it where you wanted. Also jon.jon wants to use a two speed in an xmod with larger tires so he can offroad. The connection made by the springs would be weak and might not connect if a wheel was stuck. Especially if he was using a locked diff since they are harder on the motor.

Also making something this small would require very precise machines. Remember not only does that have to work it has to spin perfectly true.

Oh and as for flaming others ideas, no one here is flaming anyone. No one has been rude or disrespectful besides some stuff from the people that are actually supporting this idea. The is a public forum. If they werent ready for positive as well as negative responses they shouldnt have posted here.
