Cold Fusion is ready to roll...

Ya, very cool!

@Serum, I think FLM made it, not sure though...

Pretty beefy isn't it! FLM didn't make it though. It was designed by Henry Weaver, a friend of mine (he's on www.rckingdom.co.uk forums) who's currently at college studying an engineering course of some sort. He really came through with this. Ever since the Dagger was released in 1999, people have been trying to improve the stock diff; and now that both I, and shortly he, have brushless Daggers the need for a stronger diff was urgent...so he set to work with his expertise, and some tips from me.:018:

I'm not sure if CF does qualify as 1/10th any more though; it's got a longer wheelbase than the stock Maxx trucks, but is slightly narrower...so I dunno. 1/9th? lol. The original Dagger is considered 1/10th and this thing is much bigger than that now in every dimension. Who can say? She weighs 3.7kg too, fully laden.

Anyhoo, I've now gotta go off and fiddle around with CF's CVDs...two of the drive pins backed out a bit during the run, so they need sorting (I'll probs put shrinkwrap round them to stop it happening again).:027:

Ah! So FLM didn't make the diff. Isn't FLM thinking of making diff cases out of aluminum then? I couldn't remember if it was the diff or diff case.

BTW is that the same Henry who started to make an LSD diff for the dagger? Did he ever finish it?

Aragon: You can't have seen the Dagger drivetrain before..it's unlike anything else out there. The gearboxes are laterally-spinning geartrains, with the diff being the final gear inside the gearbox. There are two gearboxes, one front and one rear. This new diff actually uses the exact same teeth as stock (they're very strong), but they've been cut from the rest of the plastic casing and keyed onto the outer adaptor. It's all pretty strong stuff.:018:

Cemetry: Bingo! Yup, that's the same guy. He gave up on that project, as it was essentially a ball diff...and it just wasn't strong enough.:002: FLM might well mbe thinking of making diff cases, but they're nothing to do with this one.:027:

Yeah, there is so much potential it the little dagger it's crazy. The funny thing is that most people don't even realize it...

Cool, I like spider diffs better than ball diffs anyways...
