You have mentioned the MMP before so here are some pics to show that it fits. I also had to include a pic of this seasons body before it gets destroyed! Just as SCTDan mentioned you have to remove the center brace and some from the side for the speed controller. You will need to notch the cups as well for the MMP. Personally I really like the mod and it saves the expense of buying the saddle packs Only difficult thing is that one of the two battery posts will end up directly under the belt housing so it takes a bit of work to unplug.

If you look closely you will notice the sensor wire running through the center to rear chassis mount ... there is a hole there that once opened up a bit provides a great path for the wire keeping it locked in place, out of harms way and nicely dressed. And yes, those are street tires. The only local track is pavement so my playing in the dirt is limited to my back yard track. Speaking of dirt, anyone have some good suggestions for tracks in the Phoenix area? I ran a few Cactus Classics back in the day but do not know of any other tracks down there.

Not too late at all! I love that setup. How freaking easy. Have you noticed any bracing needed because you cut out those screws into the chassis? I'm sure cutting the bracing on the side won't matter a bit, but I don't see you bracing the chassis after removing some of the bracing itself.

Thank you very much for showing that. I can use a culmination of both of yours and suite my needs perfectly. Thanks alot Jason!

Edit: Btw, Great looking Truck. And can't go wrong with an AE paintjob!
