I ran an 8L in my T2 a few times, on 9 and 12 cells. Realistically its too much power, although the 9 cell runs were very fun - enough power to be balistic, but not enough to completely overload the car.

The transmission is very strong - if you don't already have it pick up an RC10 GT steel idler and alloy diff gear. The topshaft is already steel, but you can get a titanium one. RC10 GT cvd's work fine.

I use MIP cvd's on my T2..the black steel ones, not the shiny ones. I've literally snapped 2 shiny ones and bent a couple more. Bent a couple of steel ones as well but they do hold up better. The ones I'm using right now have held out the longest, ironically they have to be at least 10yrs old, maybe they were stronger back then?

Comes down to how many cells you wanna run. 9 cells on the 9L will be good fun, and controllable. Plus you can fit 9 cells flat in the chassis with a small modification.

For spurs..I use 32P gears on mine all the time, I use a Robinson Racing machined plastic 61t, but 60-63t work, all designed for the RC10GT. My motor has a 1/8 shaft but I'd imagine you can get small enough 5mm pinions, I was running around a 15t pinion.
