So I had to think about how exactly I wanted to mount the new RCM center diff unit and keep everything structurally sound, while at the same time giving me enough room to take full advantage of the spur gear options I have on hand. I have from 44T up to 52T steel spur gears, and eventually I would like to try out Mikes Slipperential. So for the moment I have mounted it directly onto the titanium center skid, and managed to shave out some space on either side of the spur gear to make some room for whatever spur I want to put into it. I have some 4mm hardware coming in from BoltDepot.com so I can upgrade the mounting screws making the whole uint a bit more rigid. Plus I will rase the mount up about 1/4" to give more bottom clearance for the various sized spur gears. I believe that Mike said it would hold up to a 50T or 52T spur gear.

The other thing that I did was tap out the outer four transmission hole in the center braces to 4mm as well and added clamping screws to the mix for more strength keeping the whole setup stable and eliminating any weak spots in the chassis configuration. I will change out those screws with 12.9 grade 4mm screws and put nyloc nuts on the bottom side for even more holding power. All in all this setup is a very solid configuration and it rolls very easily. I was lucky enough to have two perfect sized center drivesafts for the driveline and it is nice and tight with cushioning in the cups, but not at all restrictive.

Oh and the wheels are Axial beadlocks with Mulchers. I picked up the whole set for $50 from one of our members here last month. Lucky me.
