Looks promising... I just got an erevo center diff in the mail (thanks jayjay283!!!), and may have to see if my machinist can mess with the gears.

Are you still using the oring gasket with the modded ring gear? I have a feeling that will help, as the diff gasket I am using causes some issues with overall length.

I would still like to have a custom made part that would be completely bearing supported, as yours is still rifing on the output shaft on one end...

Still the small 8x12 bearings required to have it supported are problematic...

No real way to get around the bearing issue, a bandaid fix at best.

I would almost like to try your setup, and remove the bearing carrier area of the diff cup. That way the original bearings could be used, and I could see the wear on the output shafts from the diff load directly on them.

May have to try that out, I have a spare ofna cup and ring gear. Back to them machinist!!!

Any idea if traxxas will sell the gear seperately?
