Default MLST2 + mamba comp 6800 = what do I need?

I want to pick up the 6800 comp set at my LHS but I was just curious what I will need to make the conversion to BL. Obviously I will need one smaller pinion, any size suggestions? What about mounting it on the stock motor mounts, do I need an adapter to make it work? Any other usggestions? Thanks.

I will mount right were the stock motor is mounted. Make sure you have plenty of extra diffs. Also you will want a center ball diff and the dual disc slipper.

\ya, I'm going to pick up the center ball diff. I'm pretty sure the diffs will be fine though as they are made of steel as opposed to the plastics of the MLST. There was a guy on here that had a hoped up MLST2 with a bigger BL and he was still running his stock MLST2 steel diffs and hadn;t blown a single one as I had asked him about it. Any idea on a pinion size? Also, what slipper should I get, My retailer doesn;t carry any dual disc slipper and Ebay turns up nothing.

It is the Losi Dual Disc slipper for the Mini-T or Mini-LST. I was running a Mamba 8000 in mine with the stock plastic front and rear diffs without any problems, but I think the diffs have held up just fine becuase of the dual disc slipper.
