It would be nice to hear something on this. I will assume however that with the bash coming and in progress, may not hear anything for sometime.

thephilonator 10.01.2008 08:36 PM

BUMP^^

come on Mike, its been more than 18 months :surprised: since the start of this thread and the 'sneak peak' at your slipperential.

What's taking so long?:neutral::neutral:

jayjay283 10.01.2008 08:38 PM

lol no doubt, lawyers charge by the hour. I hope and pray you have a friend doing this patent

Arct1k 10.01.2008 09:15 PM

They were visible and raced at the bash - they looked great...

crazyjr 10.01.2008 11:27 PM

I heard about 4 months ago that he wanted to see how the E-maxx E-revo tranny's were mounted, the plan was to make it universal, if possible. Personally, I'd like to see the V-1 tranny with the V-2 motor mount for Losi LST/associated MGT conversions. The only thing else that would be needed, would be an adapter plate

jhautz 10.01.2008 11:42 PM

I think that since this thread started the "slipperential" has evolved a bit. It started as a setup for only the G-maxx chassis. then there was a V2 that was going to be for the g2R chassis. I think both of those have basically died becasue this whole brushless thing has moved more toward the 1/8 buggies and truggies. Enter the latest version that replaces the center diff on the 1/8th scale stuff. This is what they have worked on developing and is in the process of being tooled for production.

It just seems long because the direction kept changing allong the way.

jordan... 10.01.2008 11:53 PM

Any word on what size spurs can be used with the slipperential?

jhautz 10.01.2008 11:55 PM

The newest version is 46T I believe. It can pobably run a larger spur than that, but I dont know if they are tooling up for larger suprs than that.

jayjay283 10.02.2008 12:48 AM

46t would be perfect for the 8t, I need this

TDC57 10.02.2008 01:56 AM

46 would be perfect.. I could use it on several of boys.. GO MIKE GO…

You could use it on several old boys?

Coolios MOM !!!!

:lol::lol: I opened myself up for that one.. :na::na:

I’ll learn sooner or latter :oops:, that or I’ll start to find your weekness and exploit them.:yipi:. Hhmmm No :no: that's a losing battle.. :yes:

Dafni 10.02.2008 03:23 AM

V2 for G2R chassis, offers welcome, if you have the dough to take the whole truck. :yes:

crazyjr 10.03.2008 12:14 AM

I'd love to get one, but i remember now that it leaves me no where to mount the esc. I have a quark 125 on a RC-Monster esc mount, right now

Dafni 10.03.2008 04:14 AM

I used to ran a Quark on that truck :mdr:

If you leave the spare ear on the motor mount it is easy to make an esc mount off of the spare ear.

i was just going over this thread ( i didnt read everything) and this is exactly what i was looking for. i don't know the stage of development it is in or of it ever gonna be finished.i wish there was a direct bolt up option for the 3905 emaxx.

I am currently running a gorilla converted E-maxx tranny with dual motor mount, like yours. But both the V2 and V1 of the slipperential tranny has only one motor mount

ssspconcepts 12.15.2008 11:52 PM

Any news on this yet? Mike?

captain harlock 12.16.2008 09:15 AM

I believe it'll be available anytime, now.

Mike said he is waiting for a few things to arrive befor it's set for ( well, my slipperential, at least) public release.

JERRY2KONE 12.16.2008 09:23 AM

Release.
 
With some of the projects that Mike is working on and from the sounds of progress at RCM I believe that 2009 is going to be a good year. With the release of the slipperential and production of the Maxx center diff/motor mount things are going to get pretty rough for some of us. Or should I say rough for competitors. :lol:

Cain 01.23.2009 04:50 PM

for the slipperential, anyone know what kind of spur gears its compatible with? (kyosho 46T, etc)

From this picture it looks to be a custom molded gear.

Rivermaxx 01.23.2009 09:05 PM

That my friends is genius! cant wait till its out.

crazyjr 01.26.2009 07:10 AM

Hey Mike, Is the slipperential tranny still being worked on for production? I know your focus has shifted to 1/8 buggy and truggy, But are the Emaxx and revo stuff still coming out? If you have decided not to produce this tranny anymore, I'll just get a E-revo one and adapt it to my G2R, no biggie. I just like the design of the slipperential tranny better

Hardstyle 01.26.2009 07:55 AM

Im intrested aswell...

JERRY2KONE 01.26.2009 08:16 AM

The point.
 
The reason his focus has been on the slipperential at all is because it is a universal setup that can be adapted to just about any R/C vehicle, not just the Maxx line. That is why it has been so important to him. If you read through this post he has already told us that he is in the final stages with the legal patent pending paperwork, and should have it ready for sale soon.

That's the slipper diff he is getting the patent on, I'm Talking about the true slipperential tranny kit that was originally built for the Emaxx and the V.2 was designed for both the Emaxx and G2R. All i need to know is wether its ok to hold my breath and get one or just settle for an Emaxx/E-revo tranny

Arct1k 01.29.2009 08:14 AM

Hold your breath - I spoke to mike last week and it is on the list for Feb as soon as the slipperential is done...

I'm holding out for one to...

I heard the same thing...Feb is the month!

TDC57 01.29.2009 02:06 PM

:yes: Yeah when I spoke with Mike about he said it's close and there are just a few small details to work out :whistle:(patens, marketing, etc) it should be out within the few weeks and we are extremely excited about it..:intello:

Go MIKE!..:yipi: and THANK YOU!...:angel:

Traxxas Addict 02.12.2009 12:49 PM

Any updates? We're almost half way through the month....... Sigh.

RC-Monster Mike 02.12.2009 02:20 PM

I should finalize the Patent paperwork next week. :)

Traxxas Addict 02.12.2009 02:21 PM

Way cool! Sign me up.....

jordan... 02.12.2009 06:48 PM

Sorry if this has been answered before, but can someone tell me what the advantage is, having a slipperential instead of a centre diff? :neutral:

Arct1k 02.12.2009 06:51 PM

Less shock and wear on the drivetrain

suicideneil 02.12.2009 06:53 PM

Yep, has all the handling advantages of a center diff, but with the bonus of a decent slipper clutch to prevent shock and damage to the drivetrain and motor. That, and it looks so sexy.... :yes:

JERRY2KONE 02.12.2009 07:01 PM

Differences
 
With the center diff setup the only adjstment you have is changing your fluid in the diff. With the slipperential you can actually make adjustments to your slipper for better control if you wish right at the track or while you are bashing. And yes as Neil said it sure does look SEXY

is the slipperential going to work in the 3905 emaxx and e-revo?
