Hey Monster Mike: Maxx CD

[_paralyzed_]

with the maxx placement isn't so critical. since you have to clearance the chassis anyway it doesn't matter where it ends up fore or aft. once the center diff is in make the shafts and away you go. Maybe I'm missing something, but I know I could easily swap mine out to any maxx. You could even use any aluminum maxx center skid as the baseplate and then drill 4 holes for the mount.

You guys are bringing back some memories...

3 and a half years ago..... pre-truggy days, days of plastic spurs, LMT motors, BK controllers....

funny how I dubbed it "G3R" in those days, just because it had 3 diffs...

Damn.... That setup looks so nice... Do you still drive? how does is handle in comparison to the stock drive train? I can't wait to get my Center Diff setup.

Thanks.

Sure I am still driving. But now the truck has this setup, early slipperential

browse the gallery to find the very same truck in his lawnmower configuration

I'd say it handles kinda like a revo truggy mix seriously, stock drive train is more of a basher thing, and the traxxas centerdiff solution is crappy IMO, so this seemed like an obvious thing to do back then. And yes, it significantly improved the handling on a track.

Thanks again

Sweet... I thought about that traxxas diff but it seemed a little silly to me. Nice to know you still throwing that thing around and having a good time too. What spur, pinion and KV combo are you using?

Well, when I use it to tow around the lawnmower it sports a Lehner 1950/8, some serious 5S Lipos, a 12/40 gearing on the old-style slipperential, rolling on truggy diffs this gives me something like a whooping 15mph tops but boy, that thing got torque. Easily pulls me on a skateboard, uphill even, for as long as it gets grip...

For racing duties I used a 1950/6 and appropriate gearing, you know, 40-ish, depends...

Anyway, back to topic now. This direct drive setups got a whole new appeal with the introduction of Mikes new Slipperdiff this past season, amazing setup possibilities there. Cool and easy way to convert most anything to race-worthy BL setups.

Zeen... Thanks for the info. I know those LMTs will make some serious power with very little effort. .
