I'd probably say at bare minimum get the rcmax diff housings and keeping the stock tires together will be another issue

I'm running the foamless tires so hopefully that won't be an issue

Can't say I know what your talking about. Are those the rcmax ones? And I don't own a rcmax engine but from what I've seen and can see happening id suggest aluminum housings as the torque of that 50 is gunna side load those pinion bearings

Run it as is and upgrade whatever gets battered from the increase in power... or you can drop another $1k+ on drivetrain bits but that won’t guarantee no problems

What's different from them and the 1.0? Thought we pretty much agreed a 50cc was about the limit a stock ish drive train would handle with out tons of upgrades.2.0 diff/housing and drives will be destroyed

No wasn't saying 1.0 are better
the op has got a 2.0 and was just saying they will be destroyed

Well I know they physically fit. I have a 2.0 rear housing in my 1.0. Actually didn't see any differences.

Hmm, I'm still Like 80% sure 50cc was the limit. May be John will give bit of input.

50 wont “destroy” a 5t drivetrain but even using a 34 reed the pins and cups get hammered to the point that I used to replace them at least once a year. Accelerate that as you go higher in cc
