Any Center Diffs for the E_REVO????
 

Anyone know who makes or if traxxas is gunna make a center diff for the E-Revo???

traxxas has a part number for one,but not yet released as far as I know

I am working on one right now, and it will be a real center diff, not the 2 spider gear crap that traxxas sells... Just need to get my proto drawings to the machine shop...

well, lincpimp, if you have one in the works...then i guess I can forget about trying to figure out how to make one myself...using a diffcup & the 33t gear....do you have any mock up pics?

Linc you could make yourself a small fortune if your design works!

i would like to try a real diff,what kind of time are you thinking linc?

I would like to incorporate the FLM Tranny case. Extend the lower ends for the diff to fit and bore out the bearing holes to fit the larger bearings. I think Mike and Jamie could figure this out to fit a 1/8 center diff for the hot bodies. It would be a bolt right up I think. Same concept as the slipperential only utilizing the the tranny more so and encased. I think this would also need custom drive shafts to fit, they would have to be a bit shorter. The good thing about this way would be no figuring where to put a motor mount I would think. Too bad I suck as CAD, otherwise I would get one figured out.

Not at the moment, but I plan to use the stock lower gear, and have it machined slightly. I will most likely use a kyosho/ofna diff cup and internals, as they are readily available and cheap. I need to give the machinist a ring gear to duplicate the internal portion of it and then modifiy the external area to accomodate the modded gear and space everything correctly. I would have to get custom output shafts made, or modify the existing output shaft to fit.

Not really looking to make much money, but I have quite a few designs that would sell well.

I would like to get to the machinist this week, as I need to get a KB shaft turned down to 5mm for Paralyzed... After that I could figure out the rest in a few evening and a couple of trips to the machinist.

Sounds interesting...

Linc, you idea sounds like the one i had, but the machinist i know, says he can modify gears, but as for making them, he won't.... my idea was to use a thunder tigre cup & internals, and mod the lower gear to mate up to the cup as well, and mod the shafts to work, but since your farther in, than i am, and have access to a machinist....i'll let you fly with it...and wait for the product.....and also sign me up for one as well....keep us informed....

I can do that. I dropped the parts off at the machinist today and should have something back in a few days. He is going to machine me something rough and I will measure and mock up with those pars and then get back to him with final measurements. Sounds like the easiest way at the moment.

sounds good linc, cant wait to see the rough one....

Well, I have a update for everyone....I got my modded ring gear back today, and I have one shaft allready made, I just need to get one more measurement for the last shaft, however I can post a few pics tonight, showing the ring gear that was modded along with a drawing of the specs for the ring gear and the shaft lengths ect....plus I will give a list of products needed to do this as well....
PICS to follow

Sounds good, I will be interested to see the pics.

here you go, I still need to work on the shafts, but it fits inside real good, just need to use 1 shim in front of gear and that is all, also at the back of the cup into the tranny, I used a 8X12 bearing, so here are the pics....

As you can tell the shafts need to be finished, however....the shaft at the back of the cup is 16/32 in length, & it needs to be 13/32 from the back of the tranny, and the front needs to be 13/32 as well, instead of 8/32...so at this time Im ordering a new lower shaft, and redo the shafts & get the correct lengths for everyone...to go by......so it's real close, and very cost effective as well..
