8196 Two Speed Conversion Kit

The Traxxas 8196 Two‑Speed Conversion Kit is a drivetrain upgrade designed to add a two‑speed transmission capability to compatible Traxxas rc vehicles. This kit allows the vehicle to shift between two gear ratios — a lower gear for increased torque and acceleration, and a higher gear for improved top speed — giving the driver more performance range across different driving conditions. It includes all the necessary gears, housings, shifter components, and hardware to convert the stock single‑speed transmission into a two‑speed system. Designed as a direct‑fit upgrade, it is compatible with large‑scale Traxxas models that support the two‑speed setup, such as the Traxxas X‑Maxx and other vehicles in the same lineup that use the appropriate transmission platform. Installing this conversion kit enhances versatility and performance by providing smoother power delivery and the ability to optimize acceleration and top‑end speed.
