Muggy diffs in a maxx

[its me]

Muggy diffs in a t-maxx, why you ask?? because in LST-2 diff cases these things are almost indestructible!













comparison of stock vs muggy, gray VS black (and im sure that 99% of aluminum bulks are cut like the black old school bulks)
any one with the FLM chassis could you please measure the height of you frame braces, im planning to use those but up side down thanks :)

[its me]

So, what mods are need to do this(to the bulks/diff case)? It looks pretty cool!

Very interesting, are the muggy diff cases the same as the lst/aftershock cases? These are the real hybrid diffs, parts from all over the place!

they are almost the same, difference is different pinion ring gear tooth count.

are these alot stronger than the maxx diffs?

Yep, the lst/aftershock/muggy diffs are very similar to std 1/8 scale diffs, 6 gear spiders and you can get TiN coated gears for the lst 43/13 ration, which should help them last. I think my new 20xl hv maxx will use this mod, thanks its me for the great idea!

You can also get the ti-ni for the muggy ratio (45/11), just use Mayhem ST gears.

Hmm, that looks very promising- keep us updated dude.

here you go George and for any others that have not seen the inside of a LST/muggy/8T diff.
very nice helical cut ring and pinnion





some have asked and yes the diffs are very very strong, my twin motor has yet to kill one yet.

all i can say is zuuuuuurrrrrbbbbbbb......

So many people asking questions all the way through the thread. I'm just being blunt.

People do say they are strong
Just thought I would let people know there are real Helical gears available.

Hmm..... again try it for your self, the gear has a slight helical cut... BTW do some reading on helical cut gears with out runners, I wouldnt want to use a helical cut gear like hot boddies/ kyosho/ because of side load...

Again you edited, emax Quebec like you asked in a PM about posting pics.. I told him sure!! his pics are great along with his info, grinding down the shafts I dont remember doing?
Remember this idea was never tested before, it was a spur of the moment... trial and error... I still cant understand why your getting frustrated, I even answered your PM's and yet you insist to act like a jerk because I didn't tell you in detail exactly what I did.. what more detail do you need about things I did then the pictures!?!?!? The diffs-- All I did was cut some 1/2 PVC and dremeled it to fit, Absolutely nothing special about that.

The a-arms--- I modified the bulks to fit the upper arms, hell I wasnt even sure that I was going to keep it like that so why would I go into detail about that....

Shocks on my twin LST--- its a LST..... I dont think I needed to explain that.

See what im saying? I also never minded you asking questions but did you really need to have a attitude about it?

As a 4 wheeler , People always break their 5/29 gears before people break 4/88's
the reason is more tooth contact
Same thing here for the Helical ,more angle provides more contact, more gears evenly distribute the load, not just one tooth at a time.

Not my thread , or would supply name part numbers. It was just an example

Good day

Helical does have a problem though, it loads the pinion races perpendicular to their rotation. As the helical gear rotates along the spur it is constantly trying to force itself away from the spur. People with high torque setups would have issues with the inner pinion bearing coming apart due to this load. A thrust bearing would be a good item to add, but space is usually limited in that area...

previous post was purely sarcasm BTW...
