Just wanting to share with you photos and video of the machined conversion i made for mgt monster trucks .

Adjustable mounts fully compatible whith most of the 1/8 buggy center diff's of the market with 16mm OD bearing and up to 48t spur gear .


Up to 92mm lenght motors can be mounted...


Mounts are bolted in the same chassis holes that stock transmition were bolted with 4 m3 screws and selflock nuts.




The final ratio of the car is different from the nitro version because of the center diff ,for that reason a low kv rating motor is preferable.
For example a leoprad 4092 (1480 kv) with a 13t pinion gear is great and very fast .

nice piece of aluminium ! this thing must wheelie like crazy

Thanks man ,
Depends on the diff oil on the center diff .

That center diff mount sure does make for a clean conversion. Definitely the best option for the MGT. Nice truck too.

Out of curiousity, if you flipped the center diff mount around, would the battery tray fit up front? And do you think it would shift the weight forward at all? I usually try to shift weight forward a bit in powerful MT's for better on power steering. I'll probably never get a MGT so like I said its just my own curiousity and enjoyment of discussing mods and tweaks.

Yes it is possible to flip around the diff mounts

but the battery tray wont fit up because of the sterring servo exept that i use batteries that weights almost the same with motor about 500-600 gr each other so i think is a good balance.
For a double set up I also made double side battery trays that places the batteries in each side of the car

I never paid much attention to motor or pack weights but I thought they might be similar, that's a big motor. With the motor in the center of the chassis you definitely have some layout options. Always a plus. Given the option I prefer a single brick pack instead of two smaller ones mostly due to less complicated charging.

But I did end up trying a dual pack and a single pack setup (across back of chassis like yours) on a custom Revo. I never liked the ERevo's handling and on my custom Revo the handling seemed better to me. I guess the single pack across the chassis centers the weight more than the dual packs at the edge of the chassis has something to do with it. Any chance you ran the dual pack configuration and noticed any differences?

There are nice images. it's very nice.

agree with you ,single pack in the rear with a same weight motor in the front gives exellent balance (all centered in the right position) ,batteries in the sides of the car makes the car unstable during cornering with grippy tires.
