i was messing around with my cvds and knuckles and i got an idea and it worked it turns out that i wont need to buy new knuckles, bearings, and diff cups for the tsais cvds to work i looked at the cvd and the ball cup there is a little bigger size in the cvd ball part but not much. So i will grind down the bigger ball intill it fits into the stock hb diff cup. I will then be able to use the stock maxx non 3.3 just emaxx knuckles. How you may ask (becuase the revo tsais cvds have a big hump on them where the axel is to go into a revo knuckle) i was testing around and i figured out that if i remove the first bearing (bearing clostest to inside of the vehicle not the one on the outside of the knuckle) i have the same size hole that the revo knuckles have to allowe revo cvds. It is kind of hard to explain but it works so i will be able to fit this cvd problem in no time with no moneyh being spent i will grind the cvd ball tomarrow and get pics asap.

Rene posted on how to make a axle shaft for it. I think also guerilla may have to. They use the 3.3 stub axle.

were is this post on how to do it(a little confused about what you are talking about)

The way I understand it is this. You take this part and cut the threads off it.
It will slide in the diff with out the drive cups. YOu then attach the slider.
Sounds easy enough but not sure how well it works cause haven't tried it yet.

tryed grinding the ball of it ended in disaster i totally grinded one of the balls so short that the pin came out and that was that these things have such big balls no amount of grinding will allow them to fit so i guess i learned my lesson today never ever EVER go the cheap rout todays little mistake will have my just buying 125 bucks in UE cvds to end this mess. One mistake cost me 120 bucks man my day is going crappy it will be another 12 weeks before i can order these things.

Could you try the mod on diffs to run the sliders until then?

GorillaMaxx360 · 01.27.2007, 04:57 PM

yeah did not think of that so this conversion to allow sliders seems pretty easy huh. Cool did not think of that thanks coolhandcountry.

GorillaMaxx360 · 01.27.2007, 06:21 PM

by the way has anybody tried this or where did you get how to do this.(where is the forum at)

Also how long untill the 1/8 diffs come out (guesstimate) and do you think mike will sell the individual parts to make the sliders work with the hb diffs
