Not sure you could find something to fit properly in 48P and I doubt the gears would survive if you did. Finding 48 pitch 5mm shaft pinions will be tough as well. All around not a good idea IMO.

I can't really ask for tips at the track. Because it consists of Mugens (mostly mbx7's), some kyoshos and a few xray. And 3or 4 losi 2.0. I know of a base setup from a local guy from a 2.0 but the 3.0 is obviously a different car.
...no?

Why grass or astro? This animal is made for dirt!! I wouldn't even know where to begin a setup for those two track conditions. But then again I've never ran on them. Good luck

Because grass is what I'm racing on...Schumacher spirals...

My old mbx6 was fast on grass, but moved to tlr. I ran 7/7/3 in that, but it seems the losi would be better with looser diffs. The front is like a rock compared to the mugen... If 5/5/5 is standard, I'm thinking 5/5/3 or 5/7/2, well see I suppose

Just purchased a used 3.0e.

Can someone confirm if the JConcepts Nitro Silencer body will fit? I like the shape/lines of it more than the eBuggy body.

If not, what other bodies will fit (other than the JC eBug)?

Thx!
