As I said to you two times before in you build thread:
You can keep the diffs, just need the 10T pinions from HB.

Maxxrickard 03.24.2010 05:26 PM

I sense a little hostility in the answer there :whip:lol

Yeah well, happenes from time to time when some one askes the same question time after time agein...

But since this time it was a different question: Sorry, my mistake.
As for the CD I think I allready said that you could use any centerdiff, as long as it fits into you mount.
The safest option would be a CD with 44T, this should fit in most configurations.
I know for a fact that Kyosho makes 44 and 46T center diffs, but I'm shure there are many other manufacturers...

As far as better, it depends on your wants from the truck. Do you want a basher and beater, don't care about turning radius or limited slip action all around?

The tranny will provide more gear reduction, which I find helps things run cooler eventhough you gear for the same speed. A tranny will allow all wheel action all the time. Slow crawling or climbing obstacles or maybe mudding wont be an issue.

The CD allows for sharper turning and proportionate power distribution.

Not to mention
 
Not to mention a lower center of gravity, and semitry in design which some prefer. It looks cleaner and creates a better balance overall.

I will run it but easy maybe once the finger starts the pushing I get trigger happy so maybe I will make a basher too I have the bulks in blue also

Nice build Swift. I hope you didn't pay much for those setbacks because they are not the real UE setbacks. I'm sorry to inform you this.

I know the difference since I got both real and fake setbacks (got burned on it 2 years ago).

swiftneed 03.24.2010 09:06 PM

tell me the difference

swiftneed 03.24.2010 09:26 PM

I think I made the purchase but I wanted setback arms not worried if it was ue for that part (setback) I have the arms in hardcore also not setback just wide

nitrostarter 03.24.2010 09:53 PM

Sore subject for the Maxx guys that love UE parts...

JERRY2KONE 03.24.2010 09:59 PM

Be careful
 
Yea you have to be careful who you purchase UE parts from. Make sure if you buy from anyone that you get clarification as to whether or not the parts are actually genuine UE parts or counterfeits. The best way is to buy them from the UE store or at least from reputable people here on the UE forum. You can always come here and ask for advice on a certain pruchase and someone here can verify its authenticity. Dealing with certain folks on the Bay is a very risky transaction for sure.
