Thanks a lot   |
The MT2 looks like a pretty awesome truck. Are there aftermarket 1/8th diffs available for it also? I'm gonna check that one out a little more. Only weighs 5 pounds! I like that!
In considering other trucks for direct drive conversion, just remember what we've ran into on the cogging issue. I think that line that you can't cross is somewhere about 4 inches of roll out per turn of the motor. Vehicle weight affects this I'm sure.
But more so, I believe it also has to do mainly with the level of EMF pulses that the ESC MUST get from the motor to start properly. More on this later.
