Why dont you put a truck body and truck wheels so it looks like a real MT, now it looks like a truggy.

Maybe it looks like a truggy because it is a truggy...

Fioroni makes one for the Kyosho MP9, but I don't know the compatibility with yours.

Lol, that's true.

The electric off-road section is 99% racing topics. I would call this a monster truggy. I'm sure you're familiar with the truck called the Arrma Kraton. All that is is a truggy with monster truck tires.

Here's a few pics of my monster ET48.3.
Hobbystar 4092 1730KV. ESC mounted with body posts on a shelf that comes off original mounts..just 2 body clips to remove.
I prefer this longer truggy chassis to my short MT410. It's just way more stable at high speeds. But I can just as easily pull standing backflips and do stunts with MX38's and this torqey motor.

Got my first off-road session with this center diff and 100k fluid. It performed VERY good, as expected. I'm running a GoolRC 4076 2000kv motor along with a Yeah Racing heat sink & twin fans (which make a huge difference), Castle MMX ESC, Turnigy Basher 6S 4000mah 65C hard case battery, and belted dBoots Backflip tires. These are my temps after a full pack.

Center diff, 14x
Motor, 13x
ESC, 15x
Battery, 12x

The last time I ran the Tekno center diff it was over 200 degrees. My Turnigy Graphene battery runs cooler but I don't typically run a soft case in this truggy.

Does that diff fit the MT410? If so, when the time comes to work on mine, I'd just drop that bad boy in instead.
