The key question to ask when staying with two-speed is, are you going to be running in a track that is big enough for you to benefit from keeping your two-speed? I normally run on short tracks, so I obviously decided on single speed/center diff option. Also, it eliminates one more thing to have to worry about. Food for thought....just my .02.

First of all, I don't know the answer but most likely the Tekno guys will chime in with a good answer for you.

^^ I was wondering if I should go with the tekin 5.5 or 6.5mm bullets for my ESC to battery connection..or if anyone has recommendations to connectors better then the Deans.

whipnet,
If your doing a conversion on a IGT 2, I'd get with wildbillmassey at IGTHobbies. I've done mine with the Kyosho kit, the Kyosho center diff, the CC/Neu 1518 1800kv on 4S (practice) and 6S and I love it some much more than when I originally had it with the 2sp.
Also, last week I slammed the wall really hard and actually broke the output post on the front diff case. Long story short, I did some experimenting with the HPI aluminum diff case (for better strength), the HPI output cups, the stock kyosho diff gears, and the stock kyosho ring gear. Believe it or not, it all fits perfectly !
So now I'm gonna do the same for the rear diff unless someone knows of a Kyosho aluminum diff setup.

The other good thing is I didn't have to use more than the standard-single shims to get the gears nice and smooth without play.
