1/8 Diffs and Slipperential Gearing? -
01.17.2007, 03:47 PM
I am planning on getting the 1/8 diffs that RCM is working on for the Revo as soon as they come out and im also planning to get the slipperential for the G2R as soon as that is available.
Now just doing some math on this whole thing cuz both the 1/8 diffs and the Slipperential lower the gearing, and combined it really lowers the gearing. To the point that if I want to run a simlar overall gearing setup to what I am currently running with stock diffs and emaxx 2nd gear tranny I will need pinions well over 20T. These arent easy to come by in Mod1, plus it will really limit the gearing options available.
With the stock diffs and emaxx 2nd gear Im running 51/18 or 51/20 dpending on the surface and motor I have in at the time. This is already at the top of the available pinion range so there really isnt an option for going higher. I think Mike can make custom 22T and 24T pinions, but that really limits gearing flexability. But even that doesnt get me all the way there if I run lower profile tires.
Is there an easy solution Im missing here? Are there different diff gears that dont lower the ratio as much but will still work with the Revo 1/8 diffs RCM is working on?
Does anyone have this issue with an emax running 1/8 diffs and the Slipperential? I would think that it would be the same problem.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
