Hi guys

Any help on this would be great,plus a list of parts and where to source them all from would be good too...

Many thanks

Garry
 
You'll have to research a bit but my understanding is the Ofna buggy 2 speed center diff will work or the Thunder Tiger ST-1 2 speed conversion will work.
I bought the Ofna gears for my S2 but I haven't tried installing them yet,
 
Thanks for the reply and have been doing some research and a guy has done the conversion using a Kyosho inferno gt2 2 speed conversion,he had a lot of troubles fitting it and it's just far to much work for me so I'm going to play with the spur gear/cb ratio

There was a great wire up on midmad.com. Site doesn't work anymore. Info on TT stuff is hard to find.

If I remember right they used ofna monster pirate 2 spd parts. I'm not sure where you get that stuff anymore..

I didn't do the conversion because I would have to stay with the gears with no diff action.
 
I have a TTR ST-1 and I thought about putting the optional 2spd. in it. The problem is the matching clutchbell is impossible to find although I did find a Kyosho that's very close. The other drawback is the center gears are $100.00, clutchbell is $20.00, I don't know if its all worth it. If I do, the upgrade I'll test fit it in my EB4 first and post the results.
 
If I remember correctly the ratios of the two speed were really close. Another reason I didn't go that route.
