1/6th Scale Chevy Monster Truck

I know for certain the newer tranny is narrower than the older version, not sure how much but about 5-10mm maybe. The motor mounting plate is another question though, its a rather odd shape compared to the old symetrical design- I think it may actually be wider on one side (one motor on top and the other to one side of the tranny). Dremel on standby....

That is correct.

Worst case scenario the transmission gets mounted higher up in the chassis. My drive line angles were fine before so I have some room to play. Probably not a bad idea to keep the motors up out of the way anyhow. I really should get some outerwears for them though.

Well the new trans came in today. I started drawing up the mounting template and was bored so started messing around with how it might fit in the chassis. The drawing isn't extremely accurate since I didn't have anything to take the transmission apart with here at work.

Here are the sizes compared to the old 3906 transmission



I'll need to make new mounts and probably raise the new transmission up slightly. That motor hanging off the side is horrible.....



Should clear pretty good.
