Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[Krawlin]

Awesome chassis, haven't seen one like that before, who makes (made?) it?


I hate to delay yet again, but I just haven't had time to work on this truck very much lately. However.....

Some of you may remember I was planning on making a motor mount from 1 solid chunk of aluminum... That will be happening within the next couple of months. Still getting some practice with my mill, but I've got everything picked out that I will need on McMaster, will be ordering pretty soon, so hopefully I can have this truck up and running by the end of March.

I am also trying to figure out where I can get some battery boxes like the Savage Flux has, but in a shorter version, as I don't think I could shorten them without ruining them. I want to use trays like this though because I am going to mill out sections of the chassis so the batteries would be closer to the center line of the truck and narrow it up a little bit (stock stone guards make the body seem really wide and the arms really short, which I don't like) so I can run a narrower body for a better look. Anyway, feel free to chime in on this, if you know of anyone who has shortened Savage Flux battery boxes to work with another application, post up some pics and how well did it work?


EDIT: I would also like to add, the reason I am not going with a simple flat tray with velcro straps to mount the packs in a similar configuration as the Flux boxes is because I don't really like the look of having multiple velcro straps holding each pack in. Just doesn't look very clean IMO.
