It fits the same. The top half of the Truggy tank is a bit taller than the buggy tank. The bottom half of the buggy and Truggy tank are identical.

Yea I run them, have been for 3 years, they do build a little heat in the bell if the track is tight, but all I do is trim my shoes after every race day and check my bell bearings. All in all the maxlife shoes are good, I get about 2 to 3 gallons out of them.

Default chassis

Has anyone tried the new BCE+3mm chassis yet,if so are you using the mugen rear center drive shaft. If you are what is the part number for it. I am thinking of buying one of the chassis, but I don't know anything about it. Thanks ArronRc.

I just got done switching everything over to the BCE chassis. I used some shims as stated a page or 2 back. It seems to be okay with the shims.

I was thinking I was on the BCE thread when I said a couple of pages back. The things I had to do was add some engine shims to move the rear center cvd closer to the center diff. The other was I cut the center diff riser shim. So the front and rear chassis braces would bolt directly to the chassis. Oh and one more thing. I had to open up the hole where the D plate tab goes. BCE said they leave it small so you could use older parts or something like that. Other than that everything bolted right up.
