Do you think i could use it for my applications?
Does it have brake function?
The esc I had is sold... Need to change the for sale thread.

What I am saying is that you need to make a new, longer plate for the center diff setup to mount, with the al braces (parts with the "E" on them) spaces farther away from the center diff bulks, thus giving you clearance for the brake disks. I like the servo idea, but you could easily do it the std way with the servo mounted outside the tvp and the linkage going thru the tvp cutout that the transmission originally occupied. You would need a top plate for the bulks, but a 3 point mount will be fine since you have al bulks and the pinion is in the way.

Simple is better!

But this would cuase many problems...

I would need 2 new drive shafts as the distances would be increased slightly.

The motor would mount so low that the drive shaft would hit the motor clamps

The motor would mount so low that the steering servo horn would hit the motor (only just about clears it right now!)

The chassis would need a lot of work... i would need to mount another plate for the brake servo to mount too...

Sorry for the bad drawings, but i tried to make it as easy to understand and simple to see as possible?
Not sure if you need to do what you typed above, sounds way too complex.
