Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[Krawlin]

Just got that dog-bone drive shaft from RC-Monster Mike, and it's perfect!!! Mocked it all up, fits just right, can't pop out and its long enough where its not riding right on the edge of the drive cup. Thanks again RCM Mike! I don't know of any other online RC store owner that would do that for some random member out of thousands on their forum, that's by far the best customer service I've had for a long long time.

any update ??

[Krawlin]

Nothing yet, I still have to clearance the chassis for the spur gear and I haven't had time to do that lately. Maybe sometime next week I'll do that and put it all back together.

[The Dude]

here's the little update....

The V2 motor mount....



I'm gonna take it this afternoon

Ooooh, now thats a clever bit of design, looks beautiful too.

[medina619]

**hint hint**

Hi

medina619: be patient man, I said there's maybe some kit for sale in few times... but we need to be sure about the kit...

just some pics









but today when I just starting to run my pinion slip away
the reason here....



so I'm waiting for a 11T Robinson pinion...and a spider differential....

tomorrow I'll start the body,

[medina619]

I hear ya. Im just anxiously waiting

[Krawlin]

I haven't even done anything with my MGT for over a month . All I really need to do to it though is solder connectors to my other Turnigy battery since one of them puffed, clearance the chassis for the spur gear, and put it all back together. Been busy with alot of other stuff lately though which is why I haven't really gotten around to it. If I could get access to a CNC mill or even a manual mill, I would machine mine out of a single piece of stainless steel or aluminum rather than welding steel pieces together like I do now just for the cool factor.

TheDude, that motor mount looks awesome, great design, I like it! Have any new videos of it?

[The Dude]

Hi Krawlin'

thanks for the compliments

No another vid, cause I don't have enough time... (the body is still waiting...)

I just receive my Spider diff and ...it don't fit at all !!!
too long , and there's no other spur gear than 52 or 48T.... maybe we gonna do another version.........but before I'm gonna try with 10/48...

I can't wait to see how it turns out. I still have one of the original trucks as well. I'm starting to get on the electric bandwagon as well. It would be great to see a list of everything used when your done. Great job.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been busy with work (welding shop) and welding classes. Learning to TIG weld though, so there might be a TIG welded stainless steel version of my motor mount in the next few months.
