Honestly when I first started to read the reply via email notification I didn't realize who it was from and as I'm reading I'm thinking well this person obviously has a D8T and the RCM Conversion Kit, as I get further down the fact starts to dawn on me so I scroll back to the top of the email and see the reply was posted by none other than RC-Monster Mike himself!!

I seriously LOL, not that Mike had posted and I thought he was selling his product but that RCM Mike had replied to my post and had a genuine tale to tell of his products against a Tekno Conversion Kit. Maximum respect Mike and thanks for the reply, I appreciate your honesty and dedication the the hobby.

Questions- I am guessing you have a D8T yourself from your post, can I ask what BL combo you use?? Will a 1717 fit the RCM mount and do you run the RCM Slipperential??
If you do or do not run the Slipperential what size spur gear and pinion do you use??

Do RCM do the updated Slipperential compatible D8T Motor Mount as the kit like the older model or would I have to buy the parts separately?

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your time.

Jason...IMO, a 1717 is overkill in a truggy. I run the 1520 cc motor on 5S and it is a beast. More than enough torque to satisfy anybody and plenty of speed as well. A typical truggy motor is really all you need. I went with the bigger motor due to running frequently in very soft sand and wanting the extra big can to keep temps down.
