Hotbodies diffs
 

Hey guys,

I have a Muggy and a Turmoil that I converted. They pretty much have the same drive train and I've been running the Kyosho plastic spurs. The thing is that I have to modify the spurs to work with my diffs. I've been doing some reading and there are a lot of references to using the hotbodies diff for the LSP. Does this work with the Kyosho spurs without modifications? Will it fit my applications?

Thanks.

need shims i believe.
take entire kyosho diff.:D

Hotbodies cars are Kyosho clones... you can swap many parts between the cars. They didn't do much to hide the fact they just cloned a K car.

the kyosho spur fit perfect on my slipperentialwith hot bodies diff

yes, kyosho spur is a perfect match to the hot bodies diffs.

does anyone have the part number for the Kyosho 44T spur?

I think the #'s are IF147 and IF148 for the 44 and 46 gears, respecitvely.

He can get both from Mike......go to search and type in Kyosho spur gear and it will bring you right to it....

I should have been more specific with my question. I'm going to be putting these into Muggy and Turmoil, which use the exact same diff setup. Will this hotbodies diff be a drop in replacement for my existing diffs, or will I have to do something to make it all work? I'm asking because if there are modifications involved, I might just stick to what I'm doing now.

for diffs it seems that who ever makes the muggy and sportwerks cars they also copied kyosho. they are the same size.

jolly, I'm surprised that you didn't know (or maybe you did). The Muggy is a Losi truck and Sportwerks is a Losi owned subsidiary.

Thanks for the heads up on the diffs, I'm ordering them now.

i'm not here to argue but a muggy is made FOR losi, not BY losi.

jolly, I wasn't aware of that. Is that true of the LST also? I'm just wondering. I actually had the opportunity to get an 8ight T, but decided on the Muggy because I'm only a light racer and mostly bash. I have five vehicles and my spare parts box is getting rediculously big. The Muggy is easy to stock parts for, because duplicate parts are used throughout. It's a tough truck too.

Oh, BTW, do you know who does make the Muggy? They used a lot of parts from the LST(2) to do so and a bunch of parts are also interchangeable between the Muggy and my Turmoil.

i dont know who makes it.
but i do know its not losi.
aftershock, lst, lst2 and muggy aswell as some sportwerks cars are made by an outside company. they share lotsa parts.
but anyway its a nice truck, that muggy.

OK, I ordered the HB diff and it came in today. It is not the same as the sportwerks/muggy diff. The diff case is almost 1/4" longer than mine, and will not fit my setup at all.

Well, actually, I ordered everything I needed to build the diff, plus the Kyosho spurs. it came out cheaper than getting the whole diff. Now, I don't need any of this stuff. Any takers, I'll make you a deal.

Was it the hardened Hot Bodies diff from Mike?... Did it come already built? I am about to buy one, and I'll really consider yours.

BTW - Is there somewhere like ebay, where I can see your feedback?

Thanks

I didn't get the hardened diff from Mike. I ordered the parts for the diff. The most expensive part of the diff is the hardened spur, which I didn't need, so I got the cups, the hardened output shafts, the hardened gears and pins, etc. I got everything except the bearings, because those are standard and I had those already. I'll pm you.

what the *#!?
it doesnt fit?
it tough it was just the same,
2Dmaxlst even gave me the size and it was the same.
i dont understand?!?
