1.Take the larger peice with the five sided hex

2. With your hobby knife cut off the rounded peice at the base of the hex(just continue to score until cut through until you can remove the rounded part)

3. remove your rear axle

4. Choose your kimbrough spur that you would like to use.

5. Insert diff balls( use the associated balls) you can use 12 diff balls on this instead of having the five or six that Tamiya uses, they will now ride in a different spot on the rings.

6. Take your Kimbrough spur gear and insert the peice that you have just cut off into the bearing hole of the spur gear. You will no longer need the bearing in the middle of the gear......may sound crazy to some of you but this does actually work really well.

7. Now slide the gear over the axle and set your diff. You can now use any gear ratio that you would like be it with a 48p or 64p gear.

8. You will have one of these hex adapters left when you are finished with this project. You can dircard the two other small adapter or do like I did and find someone that runs this truck and gave them to them...LOL and you will also have an extra hex for the spur adapter.

Let me know how this ends up working for you guys.....GOOD LUCK
Or just use this spur gear for $4.79 (as posted by robk previously):

or

Best part is you can use the adapter again and again on other spurs.
