You have to much time on your hands... But that is funny!

Haha, thanks. Not much to do when you're home sick... :sleep:

When you are done with this, I'll send you a couple of my trashed out Revo bulks to see if you can get them to work in that.

Please do, I do have a few revos, but no spare bulks at the moment. I have a feeling that the bulks would need some work to fit the lst case, but still cheaper to sell someone modded bulks than a hybrid style diff case. Not necessarily as good as the hybrids, but cheaper. More options are always good.

Pimp my Emaxx....

A purpose built adaptor would encourage more people to go this route; the guys who I've suggested the LST2/Muggy diffs to were scared away... buy having to find a little bit of plastic and trim it in half (oh-so difficult :sarcastic:). This would be as good as UE Ultralites pretty much, only much much cheaper.

Basically identical to the UE setup... You would really like my setup, nice snug fit and lines everything up perfectly...

Showoff!! :na:

Indeed, shame I already have the UE/Hotbodies diffs, otherwise I'd be interested for certain.

You could always build another maxx...

Yeah but the lst/muggy etc diffs only have 4 spider gears. I have some of those heavy duty cups for them, same cups for 8 & 8T, (Ill send one with your traxxas center diff) to check out, Its alot nicer than the stock cups.

Thanks Jay, I will have to check out the heavy duty cup. Would make a good alternative for the rear diff, as that one seems to take more abuse than the front.

I just finished up the bpp torpedo chassis and used a plastic case std diff in the front, and a al case std diff in the back. Both are shimmed properly, and it seems like a nice setup. The std lst gear sets are lower ratio than the maxx so a larger pinion will be required. I figured that I would try the "weakest" lst diff setup in this truck and see how they do.

What setup are you planning? I can see lutach's ESC, kind of hard to miss. :lol:

lincpimp 09.27.2008 12:10 PM

8s lipo, via a pair of 4s 3700 fp packs. Aveox 36/38/2 motor (1100kv or so). I also have a mega motor that would work nicely that I may try out. I need to pick out some tires out of the collection, but am leaning towards a set of 40 series wheels with bowties...

I have a hitec 5997 servo and will run spektrum via the m8...

BL_RV0 09.27.2008 12:12 PM

What's the rotor length of the aveox?

It is identical to a 1515 2y. All of aveox motors are y winds. And the numbers represent the outside dimensions of the can, where the neu specs are the rotor... Same construction in both motors.
