Use an AE 72 with AE slipper pads (fits perfectly) and a 28 pinion. Should work well.

That should be a good safe start, especially in that blue box you use Trev..

I would have to run it side by side, but I run 11.5 boosted in mod, and it's about as good as I have used IMO..

Triumph

Anyone here familiar with the Kyosho Triumph? I'm wondering if any of the RB5 parts are usable on Triumph. My son is racing one. Its still a decent car but if he breaks anything....he's gonna have to buy a new car.

Dang, I've seen what's on eBay...$$$$. And I probably won't break anything in the tranny...probably break an a-arm. Well, he'll just have to make a commitment if he wants to stick with it.
