With the mechanical brakes, a forward only controller would be the way to go. I am looking forward to seeing this project through completion. The MGT is a nice, stable and easy to drive monster truck that should perform excellent with a nice brushless setup. Perhaps I can see it in person some day (you aren't terribly far from me, after all).

We discussed the E-Maxx tranny earlier in this thread. I'm torn about using my existing stuff cause I have been wanting to sell the E-maxx as an RTR, but I've always got the option of stealing from it if I don't sell it.
I imagine it would run me well over $100 to get another E-Maxx tranny and do the right modifications to it, plus whatever it would take to mount it in the MGT. As it is now, I'm just puttering along with what I've already got and finding ways to make it work. I really don't want to spend too much money on it at this point. Of course, once the MGT tranny dies, that'll be another story ;)
I already have the Associated battery cups and am thinking about doing a stacked config with the lipos like I saw by Promod in another thread. 3s2p 6400 mAh should do me just fine at the track, but I'm sure it won't win any speed competitions.
Right now the brake servo is working out good. The one thing I may buy is the FOC kit for the MGT tranny since I've seen it on ebay for about $11. Is that something you can get, Mike?
