Default RE: Jammin x1x CRT E-conversion

After cleaning it up (didn't take a pic of it clean) like I said earlier I found alot of screws were stripped due to the idiot red loctiting them in. I had to use a lighter to remove the center posts, and even that took awhile. Well after that I ordered a conversion bracket off monster RC for $50 http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=RCMCRT1
That thing gave me a few issues, and had to be modified. One issue is it claims you can install it either way, this is a lie unless you use a Jammin X1x buggy center gear which is around 43 teeth (forgot exactly) vs the stock CRT's 63 tooth spur, or make a spacer. I ended up just slapping in a Jammin X1x CR's center gear I had laying around which I picked up for $4 a few months back (actually got a full diff set as a spare for my x1x for $4 )

Other issue is the radio plate. The thing does not fit without modifications. It actually has an issues which I do not understand how they missed. The main issue I had was actually mounting it cause the plate hits the center gear AND the center drive dogbone. To fix it I had to dremel about 2mm's up to thin the plate out where those 2 things are.
Also when the motors in the position I put it (again they claimed it could be) I had to also cut around 4mm's off the plate cause it was hitting the motor not allowing it to mesh.
I'll be honest I do not see how this would work with the stock spur gear period seeing its ALOT bigger. IMO it is some false advertising, and I'm not as happy with it as my CRT .5 Plate. But anyways I made it work with some effort but for the price it should have been flawless.

Theres a pic with it mounted along with the ESC and radio
