lol..I found that out the hard way.....had the new motormount installed real nice used blue locktight and went to put the motor on and said.....somethings wrong.......but its not just a matter of turning the diff around...you have to take the diff apart to switch the drive cups and bearing around also because they use differant size bearings and the motormount will only work with a certain one

I had the same thing when using the losi conversion. I thought maybe the guy I bought it from used aftermarket bearings, or changed something....I guess thats how it goes. Weird, it wasnt in the losi directions, so I thought it was just something on mine.

....sorry I didnt give you the heads up.

THIS IS THE CAR WHEN I RECEIVED IT







STRIPING IT DOWN





PLACING THE BATTERY TRAY AND WE TOOK THE OLD BATTERY BOX AND MADE A TRAY FOR THE MONSTER



RUNNING THE WIRES SO THEY WILL BE HIDDEN

CLOSE UP SHOT OF THE MONSTER TRAY



ALL FINISHED

the car wheelies all over the place in the back yard test......seems like the front diff is not pulling enough.......what diff oil do you guys suggest?

its running a 1512/2.5d on 5s zippy 4000mah 25c-35c geared 48/14

steering on the eight is amazing....going to the track in an hour or so to test it
