Diffrunner concept

[zeropointbug]

Alright, I guess I am not too familiar with 1/8 differentials as I have not yet owned one, this project is for one however.

So, could you guys post some links or pictures to diffs? I am only familiar with Traxxas garbage... I recall a diff that can be opened from either end like Luc mentions, but I also can't find anything on CEN diffs.

Maybe a diff housing could be modified even to thread in from the diff side, if not already?

How stupid of me. Here's a nicer example:

Great, thanks Luc. Those look perfect.

Now for starters I think I should do the outrunner idea first as this idea is not really proven yet, so no sense in getting Neu to make a custom motor... yet.

I think a plate can be machined and screwed onto the outrunner body, then these diff housings screwed into place on the plate from the diff side.

The Scorpion 4035 - 460Kv. I think is what I had in mind? IIRC, I would run it on 6s lipo, and with a truggy setup would equate to a ~40mph top speed, perfect for my local track. (well, 120miles away...)

I have to get Alibre Design up and running again, I haven't used it in pretty well 2 years now. Might have to relearn how to use it.
