Where does it work....

Thank you, And with these dimensions I can now say the slipperential will work in my D8 with less than 1.5mm shimming to the carrier bearings and a little mod to the top plate and may need to use the D8T shims under the diff mount. It has now moved to near the top of my "must have" list
Again thanks Mike

I actually made a custom aluminum top plate for the D8 to allow use of the Slipperential. I also made a custom radio box and battery tray for a complete conversion - as soon as I can get a few through production, I will list them in the store.

The top plate isn't shown, but it looks just like the one on my RC8 conversion(but thicker to capture the bosses on the D8 CD bulks). :)

WOW, very cool stuff Mike! I will definitely want the receiver box and servo mount

[Urgeoner]

so no slipperential for CEN Matrix TR? Or Losi Muggy?

[RC-Monster Mike]

It should fit either vehicle with minor shimming required for the CEN at least - may not need shims for the Muggy unless using the 52t spur. :)

[Urgeoner]

ok thank Mike...may buy one in near future :)

Mike how would you slipperential do in a hotbodies VE8 with mechanical brakes ?.

[RC-Monster Mike]

I will hopefully let you know really soon. :)

Will it work with out the brakes as well? I know the Ve8 uses a goofy offset spur...

[georgec]

I can happily state that the slipperential fits the D8 with minimal modifications. It took quite a few diff shims, the bulk of witch I placed at the front to minimize the forward movement of the spur gear that cut down on the amount I had to grind the chassis plate to accommodate the gear and thrust bearing. It also required a little dremel work to the diff top brace.
There isn't a race this weekend so I won't post a review until Monday a week. Anyway here's a couple of pics.

Drops right into the diff/motor mounts on the Caster F8T truggy. Mods required are moving the battery trays slightly rearward and adding a little clearance on the diff mount top plate.

Has anyone installed this on a monster gt for brushless conversion>?

[simplechamp]

Just dropped the Slipperential into my Jammin X1. Someone asked before how much space needed to me shimmed up; I used about 1.8-2mm of shims on each side, so about 3.6-4mm total.

[brushlessboy16]

Had to shim the slipper plate side away from the motor mount by .25mm (1 shim) and its fine, the slipperential is about 1mm longer than the losi diff so there was a tiny bit of strain on the front mount, it doesnt make it bind or anything, so it should be fine. Spring for the hardened steel front plate losi guys! for the extreme front driveshaft angle, the steel plate will wear less than the aluminum plate.

Had some difficulties getting the slipper pads in, I had to dremel 2 of the 3 to sit correctly in the spur gear. No big deal. Works great and softens the initial hit of my sensorless MMM system. Paired with a brand new Rc-monster Pinion, this sucker is quiet!! It only is slightly loud under braking, Probably because the gears need to be broken in.. Race testing Tommorow!

Bottom Line:
Amazing product
Near perfect fit and finish
9.5/10
