V2 slipperential sneak peak

[RC-Monster Mike]

Price should be $129.99 complete. I should have plenty available when they show up on the site (300 or so). The unit is meant to drop into a typical buggy/truggy, but I will make mounts, etc. to allow installation into other vehicles once I get it off the ground and the dust settles. :)
The design and concept is officially Patent Pending, so just waiting for a few small items now. :)

Sweet Mike, keep it coming:-)

One mount for my 1512 Neu + slipperential for my G3maxx chassis please

They won't work in the E-Revo. They're made to replace a standard 1/8th scale center diff. Besides, with an E-Revo, you can just buy a Traxxas center diff for the tranny and it's already got a slipper on it.

I think my BPP LSP-R will DEFINITELY be getting one of these babies...

Great news Mike! Maybe I'll be able to pick one up for the D8 before RCX.

i was hoping these would work on the e-revo and 3905 maxx because the center diffs are crap and the slippers are melting all over the place. you have to run them locked on 6S thus drivetrain takes a beating. we need a heavy duty slipper and center diff for the traxxas products. why wont the slipperential work?

It's an entirely different setup than the tranny/slipper on the E-Maxx/E-Revo. You would at the very minimum need custom mounts to mount it to the chassis and the motor to it. Also, the size of the spur is likely too large to fit in the same opening as the tranny, so modifying the chassis is likely as well. Then you need to replace the outdrive cups with stubs to attach the stock center drives on the E-Maxx/E-Revo. That's just a rough idea of what it may take. It's likely to take even more work than that. The stock chassis of the E-Revo and E-Maxx are just completely different animals than the flat chassis of 1/8th scale vehicles.

Okey, but Mike wrote this "I will make mounts, etc. to allow installation into other vehicles once I get it off the ground and the dust settles. :)"

Yea I thought that I had remembered him stating that this was going to be a universal unit that could be installed in just about any R/C vehicle within reason in order to make it user friendly for everyone.

Well, you can put it everywhere you could put a standard 1/8 diff in

It's not that easy Jerry. The way the driveline is positioned at the center of the diff, you really have to lower the center diff a lot in a vehicle that was originally designed for a tranny. In most vehicles, this is no trivial task. It would take an awful lot of work on Mike's part to make it an easy fit all of the various vehicles. I imagine his primary goal is to make it an easy drop-in for buggies and truggies first, then migrate to other vehicles.

You also have to consider that most folks running an E-Revo or E-Maxx with the stock plastic chassis are not going to be willing to buy a $130 slipperential and a mount that may run in the $75-100 range. Guys that do will certainly be in the minority, but with that in mind, I've got to think that providing mounts for the plastic chassis of those vehicles isn't high on Mike's priority list.

skellyo, I think people will pay if it is of good quality, if it helps their driveline. We need part's that can handle power of 2200KV with 6s LiPo.

I have 2 E-Maxx with 2200kv and Novak 6.5 with alum chassi myself.

just my 2 cents
