flm hybrids problem

Hmmm... this is interesting, i was hoping that my x1crt diffs would fit in the hybrid bulks. Maybe not?

The jammin diffs will be exact same size as the 777 and hot bodies diffs, there all based off of the kyosho gears any way..

The titan on the other hand (all 9.5 based ofna buggies) have a larger diff cup and if not mistaken a greater circumference then the kyosho based diffs.

So they will fit?

i tried shimming the cup to stop the up and down movement and it doesnt seem possible if theres no movement it becomes hard to turn and theres movement (without shim) it spins freely.

will these shims work fit on the cup's shaft??

Go to e-bay then go to seller "hopmeup" He has Hot Bodies diff's and "rcboyz" has the hardened replacement gears for them. Also go to nova-rc they have aluminum diff. cases for the Hot Bodies. I just put them in my FLM's and now they are bullet proof. Ohh, Make sure the pivot balls are screwed all the way in.

Dremel/flatten the end of the setscrew to provide more "biting/holding" force due to bigger contact patch between the setscrew and the shaft. Worked well for my trucks.

I would stay with the RPM for plastic or go with UE arms if you want aluminum.

well i tried flatening the end but still no use , i have stripped grub screws now , i think it m8 be the cups ill check with the lhs today if they have diff cups but as for the arms the hole in the rpm arms get larger when it gets hit so minehas alot of slop and play int he arms


is the flm ext arms same length as the rpm arms ??


because i have the rpm true traks in the rear and i want to keep the lower arm and replace the upper arms with the flm ext upper arm , and replace the whole front arms with flm .

I use Ti pins from Lundsford, but a bent Ti pin in a metal bulk is a b**** to get out. Some guys here use carbon fiber pins. (JDCarbon)

+1 to that idea. CF will flex alot before it breaks, but atleast if it does break, it will snap/ shatter into nice straight pieces, so its easy to remove from the bulks.

Fail.

Go back to page 2, and read my mine & Mark's comments.
Get a ruler and calipers, and measure your stock pins to see which size you need- slightly too long is fine as you can trim them down as required.

You dont need a picture- its just a metal pin with a head on it, visualize it boy....

Man..I miss you over in the traxxas forum...

They actually look quite trick.

I drilled and tapped my GA bulks in order to capture the pins. This prevents them from moving and greatly reduces the chances of bending them. Besides, they'll break before they bend.

well i finally finished my emaxx and got it running yesterday , after 2 runs with the punch control set to 50% the spider gear got damaged it was the spider gears from a used kyosho mp777 then i changed the spider gears to the ofna titan spider gears and set the punch control to 80% and after 2 runs the spider gears stripped again although im pretty sure everything is meshed correctly.

my LHS sells kyosho inferno diffs and xtm diffs , which is better??

wat diffs r u guys using in ur hybrid bulks??
