Hahaha funny you said that, the gearing right now should be about 75MPH but im diffing out really hardcore.. I got 7K in the center :)

I was just bliping the throttle, thinking about running 22t pinions.

And you need to get yourself a set of Axial beadlocks for that thing. There is no way that CA glued tires are going to hold together with all of that power. Check out the thread "To Glue or not to glue". Nice work itsme. I am sure that you are feeling much better about your work now.

haha thanks! its holding up well so far!

Thicken up that center! Get the thickest you can get, a "locker" lube if you can. Oh, and more video

1st 4 you listed are all the same, 13/43 ratio. Not sure about the mayhem.

Thanks
So the only diference is the case. ( plastic vs silver alu vs blue alu)

question about the lst 2 diff convertion
do my traxxas driveshaft and center cvd can be use whit this convertion
a got a 3905 maxx

You'll need to purchase the adapters mike sells, here
. those will go in place of the normal outputs for the left and right. so if you replace both diffs you'll need 4 of those units.

So Ok for the 4 corners.
BUT for the center??
I use

Can I bore ( drill) them out to 8mm.
Or do I need something else like 2 of

If so, how do i connect them to the CVD.
Thanks.

[SnoopMaxx]

You need a set of these 1/8 diff output shaft

Use these 6mm output shafts to replace the stock output shaft/drive cup on most 1/8 diffs. Allows use of stock driveshafts for Maxx and Revo trucks while using 1/8 diffs. 2 required per differential.

You can also make them from Revo spindles

[Emaxx_Quebec]

Yes, i know but my Q is for the center shaft.
The one that goes from 8mm diff pinion output to trans.

[suicideneil]

Yes, you can drill out the stock part to 8mm to fit the diff shaft- seen it done a couple times. You cant use Mikes part with cvds, you'd have to use dogbones with different drive cups that he sells (8mm bore), or possible drill out the cvd to 8mm, but that might weaken it too much.

[Emaxx_Quebec]

Thanks Neil, that's what I was thinking.
I'll go with Traxxas CVD drilled to 8mm.çà
We'll see if it hold up.

Mechanical brakes! Nice. Definitely get v3's and post pics, you build some really nice rides, I like all your youtube stuff.

I'm posing this question to the 2 people who posted pics of their projects. I was wondering what you used for the center diff. The mount, diff, top plate, and is that a t-maxx motor mount on the center diff? I am new to the forum and just getting back into rc and saw that this thread is based on an idea I had been thinking about before finding this forum. Thanks for any answers and sorry for length on message.
