2 speed
 

hi all does anyone know of a 2 speed electric cars or gearbox.

I have seen one years ago, was in a yokomo I think.

Quite cool watching it out run gas cars down the straight. Run time was horrendous, but only 1700 nicads too!

hpi
 

you used to able to buy a 2speed for the hpi rs4 years ago.

some one somewhere must be makin them if even only for the weekend basher. if u have any links please post them.or i`ll spend the next few weeks figuring out how i`ll make one.

I would try doing a search, this topic must have been covered a hundred times already.

Shumacher has one in their 1/8 scale electric.

Look around on e-bay. Sometimes someone will sell a two-speed for either the Yokomo or the HPI. Also HPI once made two-speeds for buggies like the RC10. Another two-speed used to be available for mini's but I don't know who made that one.

Only problem with two-speeds is that you can't have any brakes.

i believe that one is a 3 speed

HPI two speed
 

I have an HPI two speed. I could never get it to shift correctly. An electric motor acts like a continously varible transmission, since it has constant torque unlike an internal combustion engine. So, I learned the hard way why these things are not popular.

ahh just like my 2speed nitro a tempremental bastard.
still it would be sweet.

Oh I see, you guys are talking about the gearbox, I thought koysho had it. LOL. :lol:
Can't remember where I found this pic sometime back, it is the box in gold, like to get 1 too. :)

I still have one on my AYK Boost right now, and back then, I had one on my PB Mini Mustang.........I remember the time was around 1987, my PB Mini-Mustang, with 2-speed gear box, Checkpoint gold, were racing 12th scale side by side....but of course, with that much of top speed, on a OFF ROAD car, it is impossible to outrun them on corners, but on the straight, that 2-speed is a killer......

Now, I will take a look and see what current touring car can adopt this 2-speed gear box.............

I recently saw that gear box on Ebay.

Here you go, good luck!
