Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[Scott_T]

OK, I have to come clean....It's embarrasing, but I have never even seen a center diff....It just sounds like, and I understand front and rear diffs, the way to go from my reading...

But in a Emgt conversion, I do not understand WHICH center diff to use. I will like to buy the frenchman's mount, but have no clue if ANY center diff will fit/work. My thought is the most widely available and easy to find and durable is best. I have heard the one from a losi 8ight is good choice.

But then I have to ask, how does braking work...I have read(internet commando aparently) that using the motor itself to brake is tough on the ESC.....I think that is what my Stampedes do?

Thanks,
ST

Any & all electric r/cs use motor braking- the esc essentially shorts out a couple phases an slows the motor down to a halt- how hard you hit the brakes determines how quickly the motor slow down. For most normal r/cs this is fine and isnt detrimental to the motor or esc really; when you have a very large, fast or heavy r/c, then it is perhaps better to use mechanical brakes- such as with 1/5 scale trucks or cars. I think the MGT will be fine with normal motor brakes, the MMM is a tough esc.
