Default 2 speed for mbx5

I just got a used mugen mbx5 and it only has a one speed in it. I cant find a 2 speed upgrade on tower so can anyone link me to one. Assuming they make it.

No they do not make a kit for that buggy I am aware of because most people do not run a two speed in a buggy as it is not sanction legal and not really needed. All so I would think you would have to get rid of the center diff and would create problems as far as handling.

Ofna makes a 2speed for the Hyper 7 and there have been MANY comments on the negative impact on handling. I know someone who has one in his Hyper 7, and it does go FAST... if that is what you want.
