in the truck. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rential003.jpg

jnev 02.04.2007 08:51 PM

Oops, found it. :013:

Looks good! The vid was cool too!

Bye:018:

Ubec with foam and tape around it. That is what that is dom.

Sylvester 02.05.2007 09:22 AM

Oh ok. Why did you wrap it up with foam/tape? What receiver box is that ; looks heavy duty ;)

coolhandcountry 02.05.2007 10:03 AM

That is an integy tmaxx box. It is aluminum and not to heavy. The truck is in the 8lb range with batts on it.

coolhandcountry 11.06.2009 03:02 PM

Update.

The truck is still running strong.
It is now old reliable. :smile:
I just come in from a 6s run on some LIMNs.
It still is a great driving truck.

shaunjohnson 11.06.2009 05:35 PM

ive looked everywhere...
where did you get that tranny replacment?
ive been wanting to get hold of one for AGES but cant find one anywhere.
great video:mdr::yipi:

coolhandcountry 11.06.2009 05:51 PM

I got that from Mike.

It has some age on it and was an early version.
I love the reliblity of this truck.
It just keeps running and running.

suicideneil 11.06.2009 09:03 PM

Same motor? Any bearing replacements needed, or just the usual drop of oil every now and then? Do like the old school stuff- that slipperential tranny is like Concorde in a way, if you think about it...

coolhandcountry 11.07.2009 08:55 AM

Exact same motor. I haven't replaced anything on this truck.
I noticed my shafts are getting a little play in them now.
I feel like I want something else to bash around though.

suicideneil 11.07.2009 10:20 AM

Muggy or LST2 conversions are nice bashers from the looks of it, though I like the idea of a slash 4x4 with some wider A-arms = 1/10 truggy basher.

coolhandcountry 11.07.2009 10:25 AM

I have a new project in the works.
It will be a hybird.
I was thinking of parting this one out and going to a new line of trucks.

coolhandcountry 11.25.2010 12:15 PM

Update.
Truck has been torn down and lengthened a touch.
Adding the Gmaxx longer rear skid and top plate.
Still debating to part out or not.

Finnster 11.26.2010 08:48 AM

Awesome vintage slipperential chc :)

coolhandcountry 11.26.2010 06:03 PM

Yes it is.
That is one reason I really want to keep it.
May just look into building another and keep this one together for now.

coolhandcountry 12.17.2010 06:57 PM

What do people think about parting this one out?
Would I get a few bucks to put towards another?

Finnster 12.17.2010 10:34 PM

What's the gear reduction?

Someone would snag that quik. Hell, even me :)

JERRY2KONE 12.18.2010 06:57 AM

Old school slipper.
 
Yea I would think that the old school slipperential would fetch a few bucks if you let it go. Wasn't there only a few of those made, like 4 or 5 of them? In comparison to the new one it looks like old engineering, but I bet it works great. We all get tired of the same old thing and just need a little something different sometimes to keep us excited. Selling off vintage stuff is always a tough decision. Good luck with that.

That was one of the first RCM sliper diffs Mike had made.
It is version 1.
Others versions was made cause of chassis changes and where the motor was mounted made for limited ESC room.

I like the design but just not sure want a center diff any more.

coolhandcountry 12.03.2011 08:31 PM

I am having issues mounting my 1717 serious motor on this.
It seems to be hitting my chassis and mount.
I would also have to mod the holes for a larger screws.
I am not sure want to do this.

JERRY2KONE 12.04.2011 03:03 AM

Photos????
 
Hard to lend any assistance without seeing your setup. Take a few pictures and let us see what your problems are. Most of us have no problem making modifications when they are good ones. Go for it unelss you plan to sell the center diff.

coolhandcountry 12.04.2011 09:50 AM

I think I may have to change setup.
With the larger diameter motor it hits a brace for the center motor mount.
I didn't really want to mod the slipper diff.

coolhandcountry 12.04.2011 05:25 PM

At current time I will start disassemble truck.
Parts going to ebay.
Must fund new project.
