The Dude-

Dang, that's a nice ride!
That'd poop all over my EMaxx..

Reckon it has room for batteries though?

Krawlin · 05.20.2010, 03:50 PM

That's the great thing about the MGT, lots of room for batteries. The side guards are perfect, just need a couple straps and some standoffs to keep the batteries in place and a clean look.

I have another idea for a design change to my motor mount, but it's going to be really unique IMO, I've never seen it done to any on this forum or any others for that matter. A hint though, it will probably look strange but cool, and I am taking a "suspended" approach.

Hopefully that's enough to keep you guys guessing for a while. I am going to wait until I finish this re-design before I take any pictures though, so it will be quite a transformation from the last pictures of the truck's motor mount setup.

Kcaz25 · 05.23.2010, 04:05 PM

HAHA yeah what ratio did you go with for this bash? And just think you were going to try 16/42! lol Looks good!

The Dude · 05.23.2010, 04:25 PM

I was in 13/48 ratio
but the MMM was a little too hot at my taste..

16/42...... maybe if I becoming mad

Kcaz25 · 05.23.2010, 09:32 PM

Yeah a 9t should bring those temps under control reallll good. lol I'm glad you changed the last picture its a good one. How was the handling?

Hopefully he is having better luck with the handling on his, but I will say that mine handles like a semi truck.....

I don't mind him posting it here, I mean the thread title isn't "Krawlin's Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff", it's just "Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff", so it kind of leaves it open to anyone. Like I said, I don't mind him posting it at all, I'm glad that he is. It encourages me to make improvements on my own design.

Speaking of which, a bit of an update here, I am ordering a whole bunch of cap head, button head, and countersunk screws from McMaster-Carr, but I plan on replacing anything with a button head screw on the upper deck of the chassis with a cap head screw if I can. I hate button head screws because they always strip out. I may give some Torx M3 thread button head screws a try though and see if they don't strip as much.

Also getting some M4 cap head screws, with 3mm hex. Going to be using those for holding the motor to the mount, I'm sick of stripping these wimpy 2.5mm hexes on M4 screws. I may also use them to hold everything down with my new design, should be pretty sweet though.

And another hint for my new design change.... first hint was it was that I was taking a "suspended" approach at the re-design, another hint is that it will be attached in a different place than before. I love being vague and making people guess...

The Dude · 05.25.2010, 02:27 AM

sorry for the invasion...but my English is very limited... so I post some pics that all...

I can't explain all I want, due to the language border....I was a bad student....

just waiting to see your new design Krawlin

just a pic of the bash of yesterday

I'm working on a video.....

Is the dude on the bicycle about to bunny-hop your truck? Haha!

What happened to the right front wheel? Did the upper arm break?

Edit: Oh, and I suggest you get some UE Racer-X Knucklehead shock towers, you won't ever bend them!
