I've recently talked to one guy that's running the integy conversion on his durango truggy and he said he's had zero problems out of it.

I personally would look up a tekno V4 conversion for $140 that comes with a whole new chassis that will make it handle better or a rc monster conversion for $100 that uses the stock chassis.

i have a D8TE with the integy conversion... the conversion sucks..... but it was only 30 bucks.... have to mod a couple of things.

the metal battery tray mount doesnt sit flat... and no spacers/risers were given. Additionally, the supplied pinion is so long that it does NOT even touch the spur gear makign it imposslbe to use AT ALL because of the motor mount orientation. FINALLY, the battery mount plate needed to be filed down 3mm on one side to clear the rear brace so that the holes lined up (it uses the motor mount holes).

I contacted integy, no response.....


it ended up looking clean because i am handy.... i would advise against it....

Motor mount itself is well worth it then get the losi battery box, 2 of the 3 mounting holes line up drill one hole and counter sink it looks perfect.
