the rc8b ratio is incorrect. it should read the same as the truggy.

The page you linked is for the RC8Be electric version. I think he is referring to the nitro version of the RC8B. I don't know if it makes any difference...

here's the info from the nitro version as well:

Man, I'm a little disheartened by this. I have an RC8be and have been using the incorrect number for all of my gearing. I just spent an hour on google looking for anyone stating that the rc8be did not have a 4.30:1 ratio. Found one thread stating such and the guy later admitted he was wrong. (I wonder if thzero and BIG-block on another site are the same person)

All associated 1/8 thus far (rc8, rc8b, rc8be, rc8t, rc8tce, sc8, sc8e rc8.2, rc8.2e, sc8.2, sc82.) have 4.30:1 diff ratios.

Honest mistake, just hope it gets updated.
