Thanks for the feedback guys.

I was able to fit a RC8B3 diff and pinion in a RC8…. you will need a new set of 4 bearings with smaller inner diameter for the gearbox/pinion and shim it properly to match the pinion to the diff gear (~1-2mm shim between the pinion and gearbox.

woops, just realized what you wrote. To answer your question, no there is not an rc8t3.2e thread. Only the original rc8t3 which I have read thru.. all those issues have been fixed. Also did you mean thicker chassis. M2C racing makes a 7075 chassis for the rc8t3.2e which is supposed to be stronger than stock. I believe it's still in stock on amain.

Hi All,
Looking to get into nitro buggy, probably with a 3.1/3.2. (if anyone has a roller cheap pm me ). My question is this. Most used rollers don't come with flywheel/clutch/endbell assembles. Will any mfg setups work? I realize tooth count may vary, but are there any other differences? Thanks for the help

Setup help

Does anyone have a good set up for a rough track? I've tried lots of things and my biggest problem is the rear seems extremely loose the car does not feel balanced I've tried a bunch of setups online and they just don't seem to work
