3 Speed Question?

[WJC]

Can anyone tell me the difference between these two 3 speed transmissions please.

And this one.

They both look the same, they are both assembled, but the only thing that is different that I can see is the discription. One gives a full discription and the other does not. Do they both have steel gears? Is one better then the other?

http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/87218/ this is the top one

The bottom one has the better case.
If you have a Xss with the better case(same as XL case) Get the kit.
with a older savage get the bottom one if building one is not your cup of tea.
Also E-bay it all for better prices!

The X case is much better than the 25 case simply due to the fact that you can change the gear engagement of 2nd gear much easier. With the X case you just remove the top like 6 screws and you can change it with the old case you have to remove the whole trans and disassemble and change it. The X case is def worth it.

87257 is the Xss/ Xl case with the reinforced parts and the 6 screw top access. Better than a stock x case..

Ahhhh hahahha you changed your post... NM this!

As far as I know there are only 2 different trans cases. The one of the Mid year X and newer or the old 25 style, unless I'm mistaken.

for the threads info:

This is a RTR case: But has been updated or so it seams

This is a Xss/ XL case

Both cases have the easy 6 screw top. but one is reinforced. It was a Xss option part but looks like they rolled it into the X RTR line at some point.
If your X has the ribbing on the top were the spur gear comes out of the case get the kit and save the money...

So this is the one I want then. Just want to make sure I get the one with the better case. Thank you so much guys for the info. I would not have known any better.
