Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[Overdriven]

Good progress and nice work. Seems like alot more MT's running center diffs are popping up lately.

We just need some truggies with trannies in them (not that we could find a truggy big enough for Harold to fit in).

true enough Linc, I don't fit in anywhere. Like last night with you, it was like

a: throwing a hotdog down a hallway
b: fornicating with a 5 gallon bucket of water
c: spelunking in Grand Cave

By the way, your gerbil needs food and water.

Ungrateful bastid, why did you not water the gerbil while you were in there?

Anyways, don't lie I could tell you were really enjoying all of the bog snorkeling you were doing! I just wish you had shaved, kinda prickly...

Scarred? Not really. But I'm kinda glad they're on the other side of my monitor!! Lol. Especially since linc seems to keep coming up behind me after I post!

The Losi Claws are quit a bit taller also, consider gearing when making a tire choice. I had them both and really liked them both, could go either way ?

PICTURES!!!!

I got the conversion completely finished and drove it around my yard a bit. It's under-geared by a tooth or two on the pinion, but it was pretty fast considering it was under-geared, then again it could be the size of this truck that makes it seem like its moving alot faster than it is (sort of like running a 1/5, but not quite that big). It sure does handle like an MT though, , definitely needs some toe and camber adjustments, its a bit out of whack in that area, and maybe a sway bar addition somewhere down the line.

Anyway, here are the pics......

























Also, I ordered Proline 23mm hex 1/2 offset MT dish wheels and Proline Badlands tires. The truck should look alot better with some 1/2 offset MT wheels, will give it a much wider stance than those 40 series do.

Very nice, not a fan of the support motor mount (the bar)... Looks.... though, looks beefy
