so if you are running 46t right now on your rc8 you will probably have to use the 48t losi spur when you switch and just adjust the size of your pinion to get a similar gear ratio to what you had before.

one was listed for the 8/8T 1.0 and the other was for the new 2.0's. sweet sounds like a easy swap. been runnin a kyosho plastic spur (44) for a while and heard it fits the losi stuff right? like the idea of the SD, kinda best of both worlds or something like that. losi also makes a one-way for the L8 model oval car. geussing at this point that it would fit but it would be fun to try right?
