Yes. Should bolt right in. My buddy who is an engineer at AE Says there is no difference in holes and it works on all 3 RC8 frames, SC8, RC8T, and RC8B. I'm looking to update both my T and B with the new ones.

I looked into it a little bit, it should fit but there are a couple other parts you have to buy also (not expensive). The real problem for me is it does not accept large pinions. At its cost and limited pinion range, I may as well get another Grid RC mount for a few bucks extra.

What's the difference between new shock shafts and the old ones? Do I NEED them for the conversion?
Thanks.

The new ones are shorter. If you are using .2 arms and towers, I believe you will have to change the shafts. The .2 springs are shorter also.
