As for the center diff setup: that one is in Mikes hands. If he wants to incorporate it into this design that is up to him. He came up with it first so we will leave it alone.

The pics on our site show the Forward Tranny design. Which will accept any battery. We are still trying to decide if we should offer a low budget conversion like the one pictured on this thread. The only draw back is battery limitations. The Forward Tranny will require no mods and will accept all Lipo cells.

It looks very nice, and just in time for my Savage that just got running after a year of sitting in the garage. I'll be looking forward to one when they're released.

That's good news. Thanks for the answers too. Can't wait to see it built.

Mike was going to get a kit to test it. Is he going to post a review?

WOW!!! Looks sweet!

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that kit!

Any pictures that show the battery fit in the back by the motor.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

That's pretty sweet. When can we get one ?

A fatter pack, say 5/6s will fit too won't it? Can't quite tell from the photo. Looks like it would if the pack can lye the other way.

Looks like there will be plenty of room for batteries. Can you show a straight top down view of the whole truck with the battery in it. It would give a much better idea of the spce available both in front of the battery and beween the battery and the motor.

No matter what It looks like a winner to me. Are preorders available???

EDIT: Love the ESC Mount. Looks like it will work for the MM or MGM very well. An idea though...If you make it a little bigger you could make it a perfect size to use as a Quark heatsink too. Just make it the same size as the quark case.

I like it too. It's always hard to find a good spot for the esc. That spot looks perfect other then possible damage from shock tower flex. Shouldn't be a problem with the shocks mounted in front of the towers like in the pictures. I'm using plastic towers and they can bend a massive amount in a bad landing.
