Hey Rice -

I remember seeing your post over there, I'm still toying with the idea of using the actual tranny in the truck so I have a 2-speed BL MGT. I think you'd have more room for a sturdy motor mount too, because you can put it where the nitro engine usually is on the chassis.

I think since the motor would be mounted with the shaft to the right, you'd have to run the motor in reverse for forward motion, which can probably be done with the radio settings.

I'd have to figure out the motor mounting, but I think it'd be "easier" doing it that way, rather than trying to do a center diff with non-mgt driveshafts.

This thing is consuming my entire brain, and I'm supposed to be working!
