Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[Scott_T]

Thought you'd like Frenchman.....Sounds kinda cool, james bond spy like....

So did the spider diff work out???

I finally saw a center in an xtm rail last night. It looks like a way easy setup....

So really this conversion looks fairly easy except for the cost of parts....Freaking motor/esc are not cheap....Way more then my nitro mills...

So worth it though....Still working on funding...

BTW,

Any opinions on the savage flux motor. I think it is a castle and 2200kv....Thinking maybe I can go with a hobbywing or turnigy 150 amp esc and that motor and be under $200....

Then 140 for the Frenchmans mount...

Then the big question on center diff....I see the losi 8ight diff tossed around and it looks like it can be had for $35 or so...

Just trying to get a build plan together in my head....

NMS,

I saw that....Is the Smart diff really that much better? I don't get the concept totally....Doh...

And then finally I have to see if it will fit the Frenchmans mount...I saw he is trying a spider diff, so maybe it will not even fit....

I've been following so many Emgt threads anywhere I can find them, that I am getting all confused...LOL

On URC there is folks using Savage tranny's which I did not know was any better then the MGT tranny....

i think it's good for MGT conversion. in this link you can see a configuration used in a mgt convertior. he use center diff from losi with 2250 kv motor from tekin.

you can see the photos on the pages before. he use other motor mount and put thinks in the chssis with a diferent configuration.

i order the 1/8 diff sell on rc-monster and i hope that feet in the frenchmans mount because i bought one too.

if i receive it next week i tell you if i'm hapyy or not : )

I;m going to bet the frenchmans mount is nice. When folks do things out of love of the hobby they tend to be right....

Please keep me posted. I'd have ordered by now, but going through a poor phase....LOL
