Really Joe that is an awsome build project. The only way to outdo something like that is to use real 24k gold plating and create a serious jewel work of art. What you have done is after all these years of Maxx trucks, you have taken them to a totally new level. I love the combination of colors and that truck is simply incredible. I really look forward to seeing your latest build completed.

I got all the differential units out yesterday to start getting these ready to go. I had a couple used units that had not seen hardly any run time but one had a busted piece in it so I wanted to take them completely apart and inspect them plus fill them with new oil. The center diff is virtually brand new but I have to change the oil and put the center spur gear on. So lets get to it!

UE / Ofna Spyder 8's for F/C/R

The guts do not look too bad on this front one.

Got it filled and ready to go, 10K and Gorilla Snawt for the front and a good shot of Moo-slick on the cases and bearing seats and a good soaking on the bearings themselves.

Rear guts were missing the small spyder shims so I had to dig through my diff parts and find some. Glad I took these apart! 7K weight going in the rear.

These cases turned out pretty sweet with the yellow anodizing.

I will be getting the center diff done today. The front diff was a piece of cake to shim and get rolling smooth but the rear one was a bummer. Had to take that thing apart a bunch of times to get the shimming done correctly but I managed to find the sweet spot. Another cool thing about these mats is that you can leave a shop towel on it for the greasy stuff and it still keeps the parts in place! The magnetic surface is great. Stay tuned!

Good to see that you have finished the kids toy and have moved on to your own toy now. Your doing great with becoming intimate with your UE gear. Your projects are always a treat and an inspiration for the rest of us. Glad to see your having fun Joe. I look forward to having more money and time to get back to my toys. They are just hanging in the garage collecting dust. Too many family issues to deal with these days, but I will get back to it when I can.

Thanks Jerry! Building these trucks is a lot of fun and the reward is great.

I installed the 46T center spur gear and it fits like a glove in the RC Monster Center Diff Mount.

The trio! haha

Here is what the layout will look like. Motor forward on this build.

Starting to look like a truck.....
