Granite Granite Mega to BLX conversion

[joshual1177]

Finally got my Granite all put back together. My Mega to BLX conversion is complete. Final parts I'm waiting on are a set of ZD Racing shocks from Banggood. Should be here next week. The body is from eBay that is made for a Traxxas. I had to cut the whole rear bumper off to fit the Wing and mount on. I shoogooed and drywall taped inside of the body as well. So it should last a whole lot longer than the stock body. I also added the Typhon 3s front and rear A Arms making it wider. Motor is a 3200 kv with a 16 tooth pinion. I am running BLX diffs and slipper. It's been quite the journey of converting this. Next small upgrade will probably be the Hot Racing aluminum pivot balls.

Awesome! I hope the diffs hold up to the increase in power.

I like the body. Sort of reminds me of some HPI ones I had back in the day.

They should. I made sure not to tighten my slipper down too much.

Are they the stock Mega diffs?

Are they the stock Mega diffs?

Nope. BLX diffs.

Nope. BLX diffs.

If you are running the BLX drivetrain you will be fine ???

Were the blx diffs a direct swap with the mega diffs? It looks sweet man I dig it.

I had to change out to the 13 tooth input gear. The Mega is a 17 tooth. But other than that, it's a direct swap.
