Re: Custom Gearboxes

Truck Town Thunder has built their own transmissions for 16 years and 2014 was the first year we bought them. I guess you can say we were experts at designing and building the strongest transmissions out there but it turns out WCP does exactly the same thing. Buying was difficult for us to do because we had never liked what reductions and speed they gave us, but those WCP 2 speed trannys are pretty sweet. We had a low speed of 5 (strictly for pushing) and a high of 15 (which I think could have been higher but we wanted a lower low speed). Buying them saves a ton of time (like 3 weeks for us) and a lot of resources. If you are set in your ways, then good luck to you, but I strongly suggest a store-bought transmission.
