Heres my take on the install of asiatam lowprofile boxes in a Mattorro K/T ;) ;)

First the easy bit take out the old gearboxes and clean out the chassis of standoffs and anything else in your way ;D ;D

next is to make a nice new ally plate to mount the gearboxes on and also these need to be set at an angle so the sprockets srent mounted to high and also to clear the suspension arms

ITs looking good,, is it too late because you might want to raise the front drive sprocket, the stock Matorro is kind of low! PM sent..

Hi Rob. Piccie of the smoke unit you wanted. Notice the four screws that allows you to undo it and dry the element out if you flood it. Dave  :D

Nice job Rob!

I like those gearboxes, they are quite flexible
