Man you got me again. I didn't think that gear was the right size, till i just took my tranny apart to see what you were talking about. That's thinking outside the box. Why didn't you use the black gear?

I never thought about converting to single speed that way but its a good idea. If you can spare the cost, the single speed conversion kit is nice because its got an aluminum shaft and reduces the weight.

The black output gears don't quite have enough material on them to use to mount to my diff plate. I needed a gear with some meat on its bones ;)
My new gear is heafty enough to handle the job.
I will also use a stiffer diff fluid (50,000 wt).
I'm not in a hurry this time so I'm going to take my time and get it right.

The only reason i did it that way was i was looking to lock my emaxx tranny into second gear, it worked so well i did it to my revo. I used 2x8mm flatheadscrews (2) in the revo and 3x10mm(2) in the emaxx trannies

I ended up purchasing a revo center diff off ebay. The diff was nicely made and worth the money in my opinion.

I modified my Evo with a rear disc brake. I made the disc out of aluminum and used the stock brake pads. Here's a few pics of the result:

You can see the lever system and micro servo used for braking in the bottom picture.

Awesome, Starscream! Nice work. Now you can dial brake-bias!
The brake lever does look a bit flimsy, but if it does the job it's all right.

What spur is this? Could you make room for a Strobe setup there?

You could tuck your shock socks under the springs, at least on the preload-collar side. Makes it easier to adjust preload, and the socks stay were they are.

Hey DAF,
The spur is a 46t mod 1 gear from the MGT. The strobe kit will work great, it just requires a little material be removed from the chassis for gear clearance.
Thanks for the shock socks tip. :cool:
The brake lever bends a touch but gets the job done effectively. I'm focussing on my G2R for racing now so I'd like to get a center diff installed in the tmaxx tranny soon.

I can't wait to show you mine.

Boys.. boys... Behave.. those sexuals acts.. (still have got this clear visual of you dancing naked on the table...)

I think it will FLY Daniel.. A 1950, on 6S lipo, and with that little weight!

:dft002: OMG, what were you thinking!

LOL

Yeah, the 1950/7 will be killer on 22.2V. I bought an 8 turn with 6S in mind. And the 6 turn is awesom on 14 Ni cells already.

Starscream. Nice to hear from you again. Is the slipper an Associated Monster GT unit or a Traxxas unit? If Traxxas, How did you go from the hex shaped shaft to a pin design for the Revo?

crazyjr,
The revo tranny input shaft is actually the stock emaxx input shaft. I removed the steel gears and installed the plastic revo gear. It works quite nicely. The gear is for the MGT but the slipper plates are from the t/emaxx.

Cool, I thought about that but never tried it. You're the first person i've seen here that thinks like i do.

I use a MGT spur on a Revo slipper assembly. Works quite nicely when 3 of the slipper peg holes on the MGT gear are bored out to 5mm, it fits right onto the Revo slipper assembly just like a Revo gear!

Shoot the Tmaxx gears bolt right on, the Mgt should without drilling

Cool MetalMan,
I actually made a revo slipper adapter for the plastic 44t ofna pirate10 spur gear. I used this on my single speed emaxx tranny with a center diff.

I looked at using the revo slipper with the tmaxx tranny but it was more work than I wanted to put into it. I got the strobe adapter from Mike and am very happy with it.

Here's some pic's of the emaxx single speed center diff tranny and spur adapter... starscream style:

Yup, thats the revo input shaft in the emaxx tranny :D
I actually used shoegoo to keep the diff from leaking but then found I needed to shim the internal diff gears a bit so I had to take it all apart again :035:

I thought this was a pretty simple solution for a single speed emaxx tranny with a center diff. I'd like to do something like this with the tmaxx tranny but the t-tranny offers a few extra issues to tackle.

Thanks goes to Mike for the center diff adapter.

were did the gear come from?

I assume you mean the blue diff gear?
I got the 13t and the blue 36t gear from sdp-si.com
I also got some 36t gears from Mike as well
I stuck with plastic gears to keep the weight down. I've run all plastic gears in all my trannies with my brushless setups and never had a problem so far.

I chose to utilize the 1st gear gear-set (13/36) because I was running a small spur gear with the revo slipper. This setup would be an easy conversion just using the stock input gear with the steel gears. If your going to use a larger spur gear, I'd use the 2nd gear gear-set (18/31).

I have a set of gears comming for the tmaxx tranny 26/28. This conversion is a little tricky but do-able.

Is that a T/Emaxx diff? and, Could a revo diff be adapted to this setup? Because i have a few and could use one without losing spares

BTW Starscream. Where do you live, if you don't mind saying

The diff is from an Ofna hyper 7 buggy with a custom spur plate.
It's possible to modify a Revo diff to work as a center diff but due to the design of the diff case, and the solid pinion shaft, it will be more difficult to adapt.

Thanks for the info Starscream. You said mike has the plate to seal the diff and to mount the gear to?

Hey crazyjr,
The diff adapter was a one off custom plate. Sorry, your on your own on that one. :030:

Thanks for the info. I like the revo slipper in the Emaxx tranny. I may try it when i get the half case for mine
