Correct me if i'm wrong, but a potential "Conversion Kit" for ET48 --> MT410 would consist of:
1) MT410 shock towers
2) MT410 body posts/mounts
3) Body
4) Tires
5) Thicker oils
So if I own an ET48 already, I just need to get the mt towers and body posts (given that I dont want a shorter chassis) and im good to go?
FYI: FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT THE SHORTER CHASSIS***

Just finished building mine and of course its raining. I have a few tekno eb48.2 buggies I bought used, so this was my first kit to build it took a while with just hand tools. I will be investing in some sort of power tool for my next build my hands hurt haha. I did a quick test run and its a wheelie machine for sure can't wait for it to dry up. I mostly drive on my backyard track I think this truck will be perfect for it, its very rough with big jumps and the grass around it is thick if you go off track. Plus sometimes I get bored and just try to jump whatever looks possible haha
Setup:
Castle mamba monster 2200kv with a HW SCT Pro ESC
SMC 4s 6700mah battery
18t pinion
80k80k50k in the diffs
Proline 3.8 badland tires
Proline Ram 1500 body
Hitec 7955 servo

It is, I just wanted to try it. Its not getting hot it just has so much power it makes it difficult to drive. I have a 16-17t also. I might end up putting my smc 1900 in. I'm going to try a lighter diff fluid as well wheelies are fun but not when it won't do anything else. I think 30-30-20 is what I will try next. If I was just random bashing it would be fun but it will spend the majority of the time on my backyard track. Its just a different driving experience compared to the EB but testing things out and seeing what works is part of the fun.

Same advice to SavageSam. I'd go up in pinion from the 15t you said you were running.

Here is some a time lapse video of the unboxing and build video I did of the New TEKNO MT410 MONSTER TRUCK, Hope you enjoy the footage and thanks to the guys at Coast 2 Coast Rc here in Australia for arranging the kit for me to put through its paces.
