Didn't get any CAD work done today like I had planned. I think I want to get the Muggy up and running before I make my final decision on going center diff on the LST......after thinking about it, I'll end up with basically the same damn truck if I do the conversion with a diff.....

So I started pulling the Muggy apart: Removed the CD and tried to fit up the 8T RCM mount, and found a few differences - mounting holes are different, the centerline of the diff from the tray is different, and the bearings are bigger. So, I put in an order for a Muggy/Mayhem motor mount, and ordered one of Mikes large battery trays. Lots of room on the Muggy, so it should be a straightforward conversion. I'll probably have to shim up the battery tray to clear the screws holding the mudguard in place, but that also should be easy.

While looking at the Muggy, it doesn't appear that it would be too hard to make a long center plate that would also capture the center diff to stiffen things up. Or maybe even some turnbuckles.
