I also changed to a 48P spur I went with an 80T but you'll need to buy MST spurs as they're a weird tri screw mount. I am running the 40/13 bevel gear set in the front with the quick release arbor. I actually think I like 32% better

actually i'm running kimbrough spur gears, they are wider (thicker) then the mst spurs, but they have very minimal clearance from the upper deck
When I will be ready to order my MST XXX-d VIP... what are the essential parts and spare parts to order?
I had already understand that the rear diffuser is a must. What else? and what is subject to broke?
A few people upgraded to titanium rods, but with the diffuser they didn't break parts since. Counter steer gears, plus the arbor depending what ratio you want. Pinion gear spare spur gears. The car is built pretty solid so you shouldn't have issues breaking parts
If you want to check out the car we could meet up if you aren't to far
I plan to order the right gear to go from 1.32, 1.63 and 2.02 CS ratio...
The Web site of MST is not very comprehensive IMHO... so I did't know where to look to find if I need to buy the short and/or the long arbor. And if so, do I have to order two or is it sale in pair?
If I'm right I need the 40T/16T gear set to go to cs 1.63 and the 42T/11T gear set to go to cs 2.02.
So where I can find if I need to buy Short or long arbor? and if so, do I need to order 2 of each size? is is come in pair?

Thanks for your offer but I had already seen it on a drift event two months ago.
short is for RM and long is for FM
and you only need 1 long arbor for the front, 1.32 is stock rear gear box is 34/18 front 40/16, 1.63 change the front gear box to 40/13, 2.02 change the front gear box to 42/11 rear stays 34/18 for the 3 cs ratios
maybe this cs chart will make it clearer

Thanks Kidastra. Is with this chart that I find the right gear box to buy for the cs ratio 1.63 and 2.02. But nothing is said about the long arbor or short arbor needed?
How do you figure it out?
thats been posted a few times. short arbor is RM, long arbor is FM if i remember correctly
