Converting a GST 7.7 to brushless. Help?

[tashpop]

i really have no clue until i see the truck. i've been playing with ideas with the pics i can see on the web, but i really don't know until i have it on hand. one thing i've been thinking is just trying a simple center diff setup but i really don't know the trucks gearing at this point and i may need the trans in place.

The center diff that comes with the GST is extremely hard to turn around without the transmission. It's like you can barely turn it around by hand, for some reason.

I'm going to order the e-maxx input shaft and revo slipper and just run it like that. If the tranny breaks, I'll either try to install the flux tranny in the GST or use the standard GST center diff with some sort of mounting system. Waiting to hear back from GCM.

i was thinking of maybe just making mounts and using a truggy center diff with a nice large spur, but we will see.

That's a good idea. I've been trying to get center diff mounts for awhile, but Monster Mike needed my car, waiting for a response from GCM (Going on 2-3 days since I replied with the info.), and I've asked a couple of other sites for help as well.

What about just using Mike's universal CD mount and making a simple skid plate to mount it on? That might be easier than a complete custom mount.
