Q&A

Why did you upgrade the transmission in High Car?

We upgraded the transmission to handle more power and improve durability. The stock transmission couldn't handle the increased power output.

What are the benefits of installing stronger gears?

Stronger gears can handle higher torque and power, reducing the risk of gear failure. It improves the overall durability and performance of the transmission.

What is a driver-controlled center differential?

A driver-controlled center differential allows the driver to adjust the power distribution between the front and rear wheels. This improves traction and handling, especially on different terrains or during performance driving.

What is the advantage of a six-speed transmission over a five-speed?

A six-speed transmission provides shorter gear ratios, allowing the engine to stay in the power band for longer. This results in better acceleration and performance, particularly on the track.

What is the process of installing the new transmission?

The process involves removing the old transmission and installing the new one. It also requires connecting the axles, driveshaft, and other peripherals. It's a meticulous process that requires expertise and attention to detail.
