Just throwing another update at this thread.

I've finally decided that, rather than trying to force a different center diff (one from the OFNA Ultra MBX) into the Hyper 7 by drilling even more holes into the chassis, I'd sell the Hyper 7 and actually buy an Ultra MBX. So, the Hyper 7 is sold and my MBX will be here this week.
My pinion/spur ratio will immediately change from 15/46 to 15/51, using the plastic spur gear from OFNA. Also, with the plastic gear I can go as low as 10t for the pinion from Mike.
These changes are for the better all around, since I was able to pick up an RTR MBX with a complete second chassis roller for the same price I sold the Hyper 7 TQ for.
I was able to satisfy my curiosity on if/how to make it work with the Hyper 7 and now I'm getting ready to make the MBX an actual racer so I can get out with the nitros before the end of the season :)
I expect to have another update for this thread this coming weekend, as long as I receive the buggy.
