Ya; it goes ok. More width would be good, but as they were they certainly worked much better than just 23mm or 24mm hubs for the Savage.

But speaking of, I'd still like to know what it'd be to do up a set of 24mm hubs for my RC8T. ;)

Problem is I'd have to get the rears. I'll definitely keep it in mind though.

Thanks...I just wasn't sure if the gears were supposed to look like that... :rofl:

Ordered the upgraded gears. Then back to having fun...

Only if you spilt some invisible paint on them.

rckcrwlr 01.17.2012 11:16 PM

So I got my parts and installed them. Upgraded all the gears and I PUT GREASE IN THERE... :lol:
