Alternatively you can look at the Buku GT power clutch with a new end bell and gears 600586/909555/909559.
Will the stock flywheel of the 811 buggy work on the gt?

Yes it's the same unless you are talking about the RTR version.

Ok what on road tires you guys suggest. Throttle and steering servo. Like what you guys used on the previous gt that worked good for you guys. I have been waiting 2 years for this kit was about To buy the older kit but got wind that it was another kit coming out in 2015 but that was false. So I been having a clockwork 28-7 on the shelf for 2 years.. For this kit now she have found a home!!!

As far as servo, i am using for both ST and TH the Sanwa BZX http://www.serpentamerica.com/shop/p...6&cat=0&page=1

I am not sure why the specs are so modest. I have compared the servo back to back with other Sanwa servos that claim more torque and this is way better. For GT this is my #1 choice.

I run Sweep EXP for the tires and the most popular shore is 45 with full inserts. The 40s are really good for qualifying and 50 shore will work for very long mains on a super hot day.

They also come in different diameter rims (84mm and 81mm). The most popular seems to be the smaller diameter rims but some drivers are very successful with the taller rims.

The tire game is pretty tricky in GT. Depending on the surface, your setup and driving you can have either really good or really bad tire wear. The driving and setup plays a huge part, the best drivers manage to do 45 min on soft tires when everyone is blowing tires left and right.

There are other brands such as Alpha Tires and GRP but I am not familiar with them.

Saw the desato racing aero bumper got Cobra GT.
Anyone tried them yet (together with the rear diffuser)??

Any photos showing them mounted on the kit will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
