@@corystoolshed also, I'll tell you how well this worked for me, I went back and checked my speed runs. I gained 7.8 mph with the Thunder and 5.9 mph on the HBX 2997a using this method.
This is a great idea...by the way, I found out what happened to my thunder. I broke a tooth off the rear differential gear, and I cannot find a replacement part to save my life. Would you happen to know where I can find that part? It's part number TH-2002
@@MattysRCWorld I believe these are the upgraded one's and I've used them. I'm sure I have a used one at home but I would upgrade the stock one's while you're already in there, let me know, I'll be glad to send you a used one but its probably gonna happen again, unfortunately if you don't upgrade.

@@MattysRCWorld no just the small pinion. I think I fat fingered the wrong URL, my bad, drop me a email brittbowen74@gmail.com, I'll ship you one for free, I've got several
@@MattysRCWorld carnage is identical other than the ESC. FTX is based in the UK but they have everything for these trucks if you can't locate them on Amazon or Ebay.

Just invest in belted tires, that line is going to be broken and wrapped around your axles, LOL.... Please stop telling people to do this. This is not even close to being a smart thing to do.

@RCrepairAndBuilds ok thank you...I'll see if it does. I'm also looking at the ft carnage parts, gonna try those as well
@@RCrepairAndBuilds that entire rear differential and drive shaft from the legend will fit the thunder?
