E Revo Center Diff questions and Opinions

[sjcrss]

SC, thats correct, use the 8X12 on the diff cup side, and into the tranny case, and use the 6x12 on the gear side and use a few shimms to take up any play between the gear and the bearing, and you should be all set. This was originally set up to be a easy design for anyone to be able to make a 1/8 Cd for the erevo tranny. What is everyone's input on this..... Did I manage to make it simple enough, with the exception of drilling & tapping the ring gear, and the 2 holes for the output shafts? Let me know....

I'm not very experienced in the workshop but it's been smooth sailing so far (with the help of all you guys of course). I'd say the reason I'm not doing the drilling/tapping myself is half lack of experience and half lack of proper tools. If I had access to all the tools a machine shop has I'd probably give it a shot myself.

I'm a little more comfortable with the idea of drilling the shaft pin holes, but since I'm going to use a machine shop for the hardened cap I might as well let them drill those too, since they can better ensure a dead-center hole. Also, costwise it will probably be the same, since it's such a small job and they'll probably have a min charge of 1-2 hrs labor which should be plenty of time to do the work.

I think it would be good to start a new "official" Revo hybrid center diff thread that could even get stickied. Right now there's lots of info floating around, but it's scattered through many different threads. We should work on a new write-up and bring everything together into one.
