Traxxas lists this package for the stated vehicle configuration. Check previously fitted upgrades and modifications before ordering.
Installation notes
- Choose one route: 8287 in the front with standard rear gears, 8288 in the rear with standard front gears, or both in those respective axles. One sold ring-and-pinion set services one axle.
- Install each ring and pinion as its matched pair. Changing both axles to the same ratio does not create front-to-rear speed bias.
- Traxxas demonstrates the combined front-overdrive/rear-underdrive setup for dedicated crawling. The single-axle routes provide less speed difference.
- Axle-speed bias increases driveline load and can increase motor/ESC temperature and reduce runtime. Fast trail handling can become more prone to sliding.
