Are you running on road or off? Two speed is not race legal for 1/8 buggy. If you are doing it for the heck of it, go for it. Never liked 2 speed off-road.

he's asking how it works...

erm are you wanting to know the details or just what it does?

i believe it allows a lower ger ratio for good acceleration, and then a higher gear ratio for more top end speed rather than having an in between ger ratio. dont quote me on that though
