come on Linc, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

I want one of these also, bet I don't even grab one in time if only 30 are gonna be made:whip:

When are they coming?

This week!!

Yes, this week indeed. This batch is only a couple drilling and tapping operations away from being done. :)

Great news
 

Great news Mike, and thanks for following through on this. We are all like voltures waiting for the kill. So get ready for the onslaught of pushing and shoving to get our hands on these monsters.

x2. I need to get one of these for my Monster GT. :great:

So what is it first come first served or do we have to pre-order them??

First come, first served- keep an eye on the store front...

Lol, this is going to be fun, I got the feeling they'll just be up on the website and they'll be gone.

If demand is high enough I believe Mike said he would entertain the idea of doing another run/ making them a permanent addition to the store; anyone with half a braincell knows what a CD does for handling, and looks/ symetry, so I imagine they will sell like hotcakes :yes:

Im tempted myself, though it it'll have to wait a while since I have a whole bunch of other stuff that needs doing in my flat that requires all my disposable £ for a while, :no:

haven't been following this thread,what chassis is this going to work with.thanks

Basically
 

Basically anything 3906 Maxx related.

It could be marketed as a t-maxx to brushless conversion as well. It will bolt right up to the standard length t-maxxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How would this thing work for converting a mini MGT. Ive had one sitting in the basement waiting for some love for almost a year. Just havent been able to bring myself to do anything to custom for it, but if this was a fairly simple retrofit..... :whistle:

Truth
 

The truth is that you could probably mount this center diff rig up to just about any vehicle with a little modding.

I think it would work fairly easily. You can see the 4 pieces in the 3rd pic down here: http://rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10233

The large bottom plate could be cut/drilled/trimmed to work in a number of places. Of course driveshafts would have to be made, but there are thousands of lengths of OEM driveshafts and RCalloys for custom lengths.

I plan on using one in a LST conversion, and I'm crippled! You should for sure be able to make it work!:lol:

Not crippled

You are not crippled Harold. You are mobility challenged. And maybe mentally to but we love that about you. Good to see you hammering away in here again.

Thanks Jerry!(I think:lol:)

If the Mini MGT's chassis is anything like the standard Monster GT chassis, then it should work with little modding. I converted my Monster GT with my own center diff setup which is similar to RCM's. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25581

Feeling
 

I have a feeling that this unit will end up in allot of vehicles in order to simplify the setups, reduce weight, and elliminate the need for a transmission that can be somewhat of a problem. We all know that with BL there is really no need for more than one motor or more than one gear, and this makes things much easier to maintain. Like I have been saying MonsterMike I think this unit will sell just as well or even better than the Slipperential. In fact I believe it will help you sell even more slipperentials because of the match up between the two. There are probably more Maxx trucks out here than any other vehicle just because of how long it has been around, and the many versions there are of it. T-Maxx 2.5, 3.3, EMaxx 3906, 3905, and GorillaMaxx, RCM/FastLane Maxx, UE SuperMaxx, HardcoreMaxx.

I agree with Jerry. This discussion has been beat, but despite the maxx being an outdated platform the maxx line of trucks is still very popular.

Search "maxx" on e-bay and you will get more than 5000 matches. Way more than any other make or model.

As brushless popularity grows, there are many that want the power, but don't want to part with their beloved t-maxx. Mike's cd/motor mount is the perfect solution.

The bottom plate of Mike's cd/motor mount (skid plate) will fit any 3906 based e-maxx and any 4910 based t-maxx. By making a bottom plate that will fit the 3905 e-maxx (which also fits the 4907 and 4908 t-maxx) all of the maxx models could use this mount.

A choice of bottom plates would also then allow the mount to fit with both the 3905 and 3906 FLM e-maxx chassis', which we all know rock!

Furthermore, a package deal with this mount and a slipperential?? Priceless!!!

Very cool
 

That would be very cool Harold. I combo kit that includes both the new Maxx center diff/motor mount and also the slipperential would be the perfect gift to any R/C guy who has a Maxx of one type or another. Great suggestion Harold. I want two of them.

GO GO GO !!! :mdr:: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=rcmcdmm.

I got mine ordered

Cool... thanks for the heads up man...

Ordered
 

Well I have mine ordered. It looks a little bit different than I was expecting, but we shall see. I have two of them in the pipe 5X5. Figures that there are no slipperentials to be had though(out of stock). Hey Mike any chance you will be refilling the slipperential stocks soon????

Looks basicly like the one I have, apart from that the one side is only held in place by one screw. And no baseplate is included. But that's a good price for sure!

I dont think the gears availiable for the slipperential will fit in between the braces on a maxx type truck. Not sure if thats what you are planning. BTW I just ordered one also. Jerry just in time for your b-day aye?

Hmmm... I really liked the older design.... I guess the newer layout is a lot more cost effective for mass production... If I didn't start construction on mine, I would have taken one of these.

Is that it? I have cash in hand and want two, but where is the bottom plate?

What do I do here? Order two and figure out the rest later or wait till I know what I'm getting and maybe be too late to order. FRICK FRICK FRICK

it does not come with a bottom plate you make your own for the car or truck you have..

I get that, and that's the problem. We wanted a carbon copy of the unit I sold you (4 peices) and this isn't that. FRICK.

With you
 

I'm with you Haorld. Just when we have something good that works someone has to change it up and make it more complicated. I will work with whatever he gives us, but there was nothing wrong with the one he had already designed. The original design would have fit on just about every Maxx truck with just a little bit of finagaling. Now everyone has to come up with extra plates, drilling, and cutting to make it fit and do what it was intended for. I am sure that this design will fit into a whole line of vehicles, but all that we wanted was a simple center diff/motor mount to go into the Maxx truck, and nothing more. Why does everything have to end up getting so complex. RCM already has a ton of center diff mounts for many of the various vehicles that work great for those trucks/cars. Everyone was requesting the same thing for the Maxx. That was it. Equal billing.

we were all thinking 125 dollar range so 89 dollars rocks does not everyone else agree?

I just snagged one. Got a custom idea this might get used on. If not I'll make it work on the mini MGT Ive got sitting here.

I actually like that it comes with the drilling template. Makes it easy to make it work on just about anything. :great:

Its 210 dollars cheaper thats a plus :mdr:

Somewhat.
 

MIKAK I can somewhat agree with the logic, but everyone has been hounding Mike for two years to make a diff/motor mount that will fit into the Maxx truck(drop in fit) just like the other mounts he has made for other turck/cars. That is all that we wanted and asked for. Where did this universal thing come into play? The original design was a work of art and that is what a lot of us were hoping for. $89, $100, or $200 is beside the point. It was a direct fit into the Maxx truck which made things simple. Why could we not just get that? I am sure that most of us will find some way to make this work in our trucks, but there are others out there who will not be able to get this just right, because it was changed. No one is trying to make Mike or you feel bad, but this is not what we expected considering what we have been pushing for for more than 24 months of exchanging emails and posts on here.

Im not trying to upset you Jerry i was just trying to make ppl look at the glass half full not half empty... Im sure mike can make maxx bottom plates
