Hybrid uses' more or less the full rear end off the XXX - gearcase, diff, motorplate, XX CR pivot blocks, BK2 arms but reversed then drill new lower shock mounting holes and one extra hole further out, MF2 hubs or the nice Trinity alloy ones, and UJ driveshafts not CVD.
I think you may need a XXX rear chassis plate but not sure on this as it's been some time now.

Did the BK2 have different gearing requiring a full XXX internal gear set for the Hybrid?

I think the spur gear was changed too to fine tune the motor position?

Oh and bin the graphite chassis - you need to use a plastic one for the full effect

Not sure if the team drivers used the VLA rear arms and hubs at one point either, Chris?
