mriccucci- A center diff on the stock 3906 or 3905 chassis would be entirely possible (anything is possible with the right tools & some imagination). I would envisage something like a center diff unit taken from a 1/8 buggy/truggy, mounted to a metal/CF plate, and then bolt that to the chassis rails/braces, so that the whole unit pokes up through the hole (which would need enlarging) in the middle of the chassis- then just run the center driveshafts to the front and rear diffs. The motor would need to be bolted to a seperate mount, above the chassis and be adjustable up * down for gear mesh. Not the simplest idea, but do-able with a little effort.

Yep, bling can wait, so long as the mutant truck actually runs, thats the important thing

Does anyone have a list of the major manfactures that run a mod1 gear in the center diff? Im looking to either fabricate a chasis around a center diff, or use the FLM Chassis and add a center diff plate. Any suggestions?

Your best bet is a kyosho 44t plactic spur, and a diff cup from an ofna hyper, Hot bodies, or kyosho. They all fit the same way, and can use the same spur, internals etc.

Linc hit the nail on the head, MOST if not all 1/8th diffs are very similar if not interchangeable...The ones that I know off hand that are not are Sportwerks/Losi are a bit more narrow then others.
