I have started work on a new 8th scale center diff. I have been thinking of ways to simplify the whole process of making one of these CDs and if this thing works and holds up to my abuse, it should be pretty neat. I am waiting on a Losi LST XXL diff to come in. I chose this diff because it has these metal inserts for the spider gear pins inside. It's a very tough diff. Also I like the dimensions of the diff cup, it's a little narrower than the Thunder Tiger or Hyper 7 one so I can use the Traxxas output gear to it's full thickness. I will be using a different kind of Traxxas gear, two aluminum posts with M3 threads in them. I will use a diff and not a center diff, I have made an 8th scale CD using a Losi diff and found out that the ring gear of a diff can be modified just like the spur gear of an 8th scale CD can. Only two holes will have to be drilled through the hardened steel ring gear and they won't need to be threaded, but they will need to be countersunk. And there will be a carbon fiber part on this CD, how cool is that!
