It could be marketed as a t-maxx to brushless conversion as well. It will bolt right up to the standard length t-maxxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How would this thing work for converting a mini MGT. Ive had one sitting in the basement waiting for some love for almost a year. Just havent been able to bring myself to do anything to custom for it, but if this was a fairly simple retrofit.....

The truth is that you could probably mount this center diff rig up to just about any vehicle with a little modding.

I think it would work fairly easily. You can see the 4 pieces in the 3rd pic down here: http://rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10233

The large bottom plate could be cut/drilled/trimmed to work in a number of places. Of course driveshafts would have to be made, but there are thousands of lengths of OEM driveshafts and RCalloys for custom lengths.

I plan on using one in a LST conversion, and I'm crippled! You should for sure be able to make it work!

You are not crippled Harold. You are mobility challenged. And maybe mentally to but we love that about you. Good to see you hammering away in here again.

If the Mini MGT's chassis is anything like the standard Monster GT chassis, then it should work with little modding. I converted my Monster GT with my own center diff setup which is similar to RCM's. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25581

I have a feeling that this unit will end up in allot of vehicles in order to simplify the setups, reduce weight, and elliminate the need for a transmission that can be somewhat of a problem. We all know that with BL there is really no need for more than one motor or more than one gear, and this makes things much easier to maintain. Like I have been saying MonsterMike I think this unit will sell just as well or even better than the Slipperential. In fact I believe it will help you sell even more slipperentials because of the match up between the two. There are probably more Maxx trucks out here than any other vehicle just because of how long it has been around, and the many versions there are of it. T-Maxx 2.5, 3.3, EMaxx 3906, 3905, and GorillaMaxx, RCM/FastLane Maxx, UE SuperMaxx, HardcoreMaxx.

I agree with Jerry. This discussion has been beat, but despite the maxx being an outdated platform the maxx line of trucks is still very popular.

Search "maxx" on e-bay and you will get more than 5000 matches. Way more than any other make or model.

As brushless popularity grows, there are many that want the power, but don't want to part with their beloved t-maxx. Mike's cd/motor mount is the perfect solution.

The bottom plate of Mike's cd/motor mount (skid plate) will fit any 3906 based e-maxx and any 4910 based t-maxx. By making a bottom plate that will fit the 3905 e-maxx (which also fits the 4907 and 4908 t-maxx) all of the maxx models could use this mount.

A choice of bottom plates would also then allow the mount to fit with both the 3905 and 3906 FLM e-maxx chassis', which we all know rock!

Furthermore, a package deal with this mount and a slipperential?? Priceless!!!

JERRY2KONE · **Very cool -** 02.04.2010, 11:03 PM

That would be very cool Harold. I combo kit that includes both the new Maxx center diff/motor mount and also the slipperential would be the perfect gift to any R/C guy who has a Maxx of one type or another. Great suggestion Harold. I want two of them.
