Can anybody tell me what parts i would need to convert a macnum to a froward motor setup?

After the rear end strength more than handling differences and reading up looks like the forward motor setup is a bit more refined.

I think you mean a mid motor truck. So you need a rear T-plate, rear rupports ( rear and forward ) diff case, motor mount and a main chassis. May be itīs worth to buy a mad monkey. :confused:

I guess the cost difference at the end of it your right.

Really i would prefer the rear motor setup as is but have the strength. Its the rear hinge pin blocks more than anything. Broke the rear one really easily. I've ordered alloys but imagining them as a direct copy of the plastics but in alloy but still cant see them being that strong because there is just not enough material there.

Alu rear supports are strong enough. Buy them. You will not regreat
