I can make a second set of holes to have it mount in the 2 rear which would allow you to use the neu 1527, but it would also limit battery space.
To give you an idea of the size of the gearbox, the entire thing sits inside the TVP. Nothing hangs over the side, sticks out the bottom, or even the top, so its pretty small. Smaller than even the kershaw designs DD gearbox. The whole thing is smaller than the stock savage tranny.
EDIT: also, what is the distance between bearings on the standard hotbodies/ofna/kyosho diffs?

I will pull the center diff out of my hyper8 and let you know, you want the dimesion from the inside of the bearings? Or the out side? I will give you both. Do you prefer inches or metric? My dial calipers do inch, the mertic ones walked off one day...!!!
I planned to mount the setup where the stock tranny is and place the motor pointing towards the back of the truck. Batteries would be in front. This truck will have a 23" wb (long) so I plenty of room. Planned to use the savage xl rear driveshaft in the rear and a custom length shaft in front.
The diff cups that come on the slipperential should fit the stock savage center driveshafts. Most of those dogbones are the smae size on the ends.
I can say that the savage xl have larger ball ends on the wheel shafts than the center shafts have. I have used the lst and muggy center driveshafts and the lst1 wheels driveshafts as center drives. They have a cvd end with 8mm hole, so they work with the savage pinion gears. The dogbone end fits the savage output cups on the tranny, and most center diff cups too. 1/8 scale buggys and truggys are mostly standardized on the dogbone end size.
