Semi Pro is right. The RS4 is originally a touring car - in this case the MT2 is based off of the HPI Nitro RS4 Evo 3. Unfortunately a standard motor mount like we normally use won't work properly because the holes that mount MT2's center bulkheads aren't completely parallel to each other. Here's the conversion I did a couple years ago:

In the center the MT2 uses a slipper clutch with a Savage spur gear. I don't know if the LS10 center diff would work.

Judging by members' reviews of the LS10, it sounds like it is a better truck than the MT2. I was never totally satisfied with mine, which is why I am now chopping it up and using the front end for my Corr truck project.
