the 18T pinion doesn't fit as i need a Mod 1 19T pinion that fits the 5mm shaft.

so ive got that ordered and some straps for the batterys.

also need to adjust the radio tray :)

Are you gonna lock the tranny in second gear? I heard that if not it will still rip up an S50 tranny cos of the amount of torque those mambas have got!

I'd love to do an electric conversion on one of mine, but I know nothing about lipo's or the electric side of things at all really...If I did do one I'd go down the centre diff route I think...Gonna be watchin this one mate!!  :thumbsup:

It might of been the first version of the S50 gearbox I'm thinking about then that had problems handling brushless power... The yanks seem to know their stuff when it comes to trucks...

The original MonsterGt.com was my bible for years lol!
