Also an early aircooled type 25 box.
I know a guy who runs regular low 11s with a stock type 2 box with type 25 diff. The motor is a Subaru :( I'm in the process of having a beefed/different ratios up type 2 box built. If I can help with info feel free to mail me. Title: Re: 091 gearbox Post by: airstuff on January 14, 2009, 09:50:52 am I have found this Bugpack kit with axles

There are several types of 091 the early arcooled ones are usually best as they are nose cone shift (same as bug, but higher up the case) Rob.
