Brushless MGT

[_paralyzed_]

gearing for 55 is why you burned the motor. thats way too fast, 40 is about tops for a monster truck, unless you have a huge motor and like 12s. Smaller tires will help. A medusa 80mm motor might be a good option, 6mm less in diameter than a neu. The kb45 would be even worse. Also, you could change just the input shaft on the tranny to the 4.6 input shaft and run the old style slipper (which i've used for brushless and has worked)

otherwise, a cd would be awesome and open up gearing options

a CD is what I'm looking for. I need the gearing options and the stock tranny wont let me do it. The slipperential on a custom mount... I better ask Mike.

Mike has made a cd for an MGT before. I believe it involves cutting the chassis rails a bit. It was very similar to the cd mount he makes for the e-maxx which requires some grinding of the chassis to fit. I would just wait for him to make his e-maxx mount, its design allows it to be used for a variety of
applications, and would easily be adapted to the MGT.

here is the best pic I have of his e-maxx cd/motor mount in my e-maxx

Hey now your just showing off Harold. Mike mentioned that he was going to produce some of those E-Maxx center diff mounts and I am still waiting on them. We all know he has been pretty busy getting things in order for the Slipperential, but we really need those center diff mounts so we can put it to use.

Hey Harold any progress on the CyberMaxx project? You should be getting back into the swing of things by now.

my buddy is doing the soldering for me, just waiting for that and I can try 6s. I'm going to try it with 1/8 scale buggy slicks on pavement for the shakedown runs. Can you say GTP eater? Yum!

Sounds good Harold. I hope you can manage to get someone to shoot some video of that thing running. Your setup looks pretty good and the truck is a pretty sweet machine. Try not to kill it.

So did you use the 4.6 input shaft with the 4.6 bevel gears or did the 8.0 bevel gears fit on just fine?
