How is it the same design? Just because it uses a belt doesn't mean it's the same. The MIP conversion doesn't even have a front gearbox.

I still haven't quite grasped this concept of going up in teeth cools the engine. Essentially what you are doing when you go up in teeth is putting more load on the motor because you are trying to spin the wheels faster. More load means more current which means more heat. If someone says youa re running to many RPM's and that is causing you to overheat, that is not right. If you have heat issues you should lower the pinion size not increase it.

They are both belt driven, nothing else is different. Suspension geometry is different, motor mount is in a different location which changes the weight balance along with mounting of all other components. People need to stop comparing the old MIP conversion to this thing. They're worlds apart.
Computer glitch on my end...

I need to see this truck winning some races and not rolling over all the time, why didn't they include sway bars, kinda dumb if you ask me for a truck the pro's can't seem to keep of four wheels. I still haven't lost faith but I need some more convincing before I buy one.

Some people don't see the similarity between a diesel submarine & a nuclear
submarine. Thats just the way life is. No worries guys, it's all good...
