Help with build a strong diff ! What to use? - 02.03.2009, 12:52 AM

I blew out my stock 3905 diffs with the MMM brushless combo. What can I buy to make these these stronger? It seems to be that really big gear that is stripping out... Any advice?

Buggy/truggy diffs are good alternatives. Ofna, Hot Bodies etc. However, none of these will last if not properly shimmed.

The 16.8v diffs from the 3906 are stronger than what you just destroyed. I'm running a set unshimmed in my 3905 and they are better tha the stock diffs. They are an intermediate strength solution to this problem. The FLM hybrids are prob the best all around solution, but are pricey and need to be shimmed as pointed out. Go to Ebay and find the diffs for use in them, you can get them for about 1/2 as much than elsewhere.

Using buggy diffs will re-gear your EMaxx so be prepared to make a spur/pinion gear change to compensate.

You're not making sense at all. Are you saying that the 16.8V diffs from a 3906 are stronger? The 3906 uses the weak 2-screw diffs while the 16.8V(3905 emaxx) uses the stronger diffs.

He said he already destroyed his 3905 diffs.

and
http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...LM18700&cat=31

What do I need to connect it to my center driveline and driveshafts. I use these CVD's for center and drive:

My bad, I read that as the older 3906 diffs he had destroyed. I know all that stuff, I just read it wrong.

The hot bodies pinion shaft is 8mm. You need to buy Mike's adapter in order to use the traxxas centers.

That's the part you'll need to connect the diffs to the center shafts. The hybrid diff should fit just fine. I wouldn't bother with the UE diffs, AFAIK they're Ofna diffs which can be bought much cheaper.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

Don't use the truggy gears use the buggy gears. These:

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...GY_DIFF&cat=40

They will be closer to the original ratio than the truggy gears and you will not have to compensate as much. My hybrid bulks and HPI buggy gears are holding up fine to a 5s/2200kv set up.
