The slots in the chassis plate are for threading the straps through, which adds strength as well as holding power to the packs - the ends are also intended to be doubled where they secure to the...

I wouldn't mind the project, but couldn't take it on at the moment. I need to finish a few other projects 1st.

Agreed, Robin - could be any number of things and hopefully it turns out to be an anomaly, but boy it happened quick. They sure appear to be a big, burly diff that can take some abuse - fingers...

I think anodizing titanium is just a slightly different process(or same process, different solution) vs aluminum - when anodizing aluminum, the parts are suspended in the solution with titanium.

Lame!! There isn't an aftermarket option, either(too proprietary). I had high hopes that Traxxas at least didn't screw the pooch on diffs for this beast. :-(

I don't think it is quite so easy - Castle sells to dealers as well as distributors - they would need access to each distributors dealer list, which they don't have rights to(and even then several...

The biggest thing I need is time in all honesty - I understand there is a need and desire for the product and would like to offer it again at some point.

Option 1 seems like the rear-center shaft would have to pass through the engine - don't see it happening. Any option that has a centered motor will have this challenge(which is why Losi offset their...

Are you suggesting a nitro big block revo with a center diff? A center-mounted motor would raise the motor an inch +/- from the stock location(higher cg) unless the diff was offset, so probably not...

Also, you are installing it onto a G1, which has slightly more room(braces are slightly different and the mount piece is slightly rearward vs the G2 braces) - you will have no clearance issue if you...

LST diff cases require bulkhead modification - the ONLY way to get a 16mm pinion bearing into a Revo would be to modify the bulks(or make a new bulk with ample room).

A V-Revo would be an...

I have a V-Revo chassis concept largely worked out in my brain, but haven't got it drawn up yet - likely very soon, though. Lots of stuff rolling around in my head - just not enough time in a day!
