The only custom parts you will need are the center dogbones- most people would get Mike to make them to the length they require; the length will depend on how you position the centerdiff unit exactly on the lower plate of the G3r chassis ( custom installation that requires drilling 4 holes ). The only other thing you need is an actual centerdiff; ofna or hotbodies being the usual choices unless you opt for one of Mike's slipperentials.

Gearing will depend on the kv of the motor, the voltage you run & the size of the tires; you have BrianG's calculator to help you there:

As an example of the setup required when using the tekin 1700kv motor- geared for ~40mph on 6s lipo with stock talon tires. Not sure on the maximum size of spur you can use, its been discussed a few times- check the slipperential threads:

Often people use dogbones from other vehicles that happen to the the correct length, takes a bit of research, though BrianG again has a helpful page:

Otherwise you could probably just use the stock plastic driveshafts form the erevo or emaxx, and cut them to length as required ( pair of longer ones and trim down ).

I need to purchase the

1/8 center slipperential Diff for $119.99

Universal Center Diff/motor Mount for $89.99

And then place on chassis and get dogbones mad to fit.

and i am in business.

Just making sure before ordering items

thanks Neil. for help I will be running the proline 40 series bow ties as tires

thinking of going with the 50t spur on slipper
