I'll be running 2 in parallel, so I'm hoping that the 2 doesn't put too much weight on that side. I think my only other option in order to put a pack on the opposite side (with the stock tranny) is to try and re-locate the steering servo so I can move the pack forward. I'm pretty sure that's beyond my current skill and equipment, at least if it's to be done with any accuracy or reliability.
I've seen a couple ebay buy it nows (the folks that part out new vehicles) that have the stock chassis and rock guards for about $15, and I'm seriously considering getting one so I can hack up what I have and still have something to fall back on.
My buddy at the track/shop is really looking forward to seeing it in action this Saturday because he's been wanting an electric MT, but doesn't want to spend the money to make an E-Maxx brushless-worthy.
All things considered, if I can take a used MGT and have such a relatively drop-in brushless solution (and if the stock hardware holds up for a while) this could be a great brushless MT platform.

I've regularly wondered when Traxxas will come out with a brushless electric truck, but now that I see how relatively easy things fit on the MGT, why not Associated as the first ones on the brushless MT front?
