It really depends on the type of trailing and terrain and the way you drive. I wouldn't use the 30% Wild overdrive, but Mild should be fine. If you're running in loose dirt it shouldn't be an issue. Constantly throttling on surface like streets and asphalt might be a different story though.
I’m new to all this crawler stuff I’ve always been more of a go fast and straight kind of guy, why would you only add the OD to front axle and not both? I know on a real life vehicle you should never run mix matched gear ratios in the front and rear because it will bind up your driveline and 9/10 destroy the transfer case if not a differential.
Hey good question! First, addressing the dangers of mixed gear ratios front and rear, you need to remember, these are off-road vehicles that won't be driving on pavement, and mostly loose dirt, sand, rocks, etc... So there won't be much binding happening in the drivetrain. Now to the why part of your question. Having the front axle spinning faster than the rear axle is beneficial for crawlers for several reasons. First, It will give the crawler a tighter turning radius, because the front is essentially pulling the front of the truck around while the rear is slower to move on a pivot point. Second, It helps a crawler when grabbing and crawling up inclines, because it asks the front axle to do the pulling and grabbing without having the rear push the truck up and potentially flipping the truck over backwards if the front axle is not settled and able to grab. And last, on descending, it helps a truck to slowly move down more carefully by having the rear drag like a semi-anchor more while descending.
GREAT job Jim Brother!! That should make a noticeable difference when pointed UP!! 👍👍

Video of it on a run soon! 🤛
Like Always Jim brother, awesome job, can't wait to see the running video, stay safe brother
Thanks as always man! Hey I got the stickers! They're cool! I'll have to order up some to pass out!
@@RevolutionX awesome brother, I would love get some stickers when you get them , stay safe my brother
Great upgrades,nice video
🙏👍🤙✌
Great vid my rc brother its gonna be a beast 👍🏻💯👊🏼
Thanks man! I should have a video out tomorrow, although the driving is not going to be aggressive as I usually drive in order to preserve the body!
Would u still suggest these TGH Overdrive gears for trailing?

@@RevolutionX Yes planning to get MILD OD 24%. Trailing and crawling purposes. What happens if I trail on concrete or asphault? Or on the street?
@@cholosoto5464 more stress on drive train and motor.
