Muggy diffs in a maxx

[mriccucci]

Well no need for that now, all i have to do is decide on braces and a chassis width. I have the main part of the chassis laid out with the centerdiff and front and rear bulks in place.

LOL im almost done, all I need are the monster maxes. I need one to get the foot print so I can cut some carbon for its tray, after I do that then most of the parts are going to MRpaintin.com to get black anoed. Only the diffs and chassis are going to stay silver :)

EDIT* sample of Matt and Ross's work:)

I've also been busy, im deffinatly not very good with the jigsaw and dremal but i think i may be able to get a local guy to laser cut another chassis plate.





My plan is to make some plates to go from the braces to the bulkheads like its me did. I think i may extend them a little on each side. Im going to cut the chassis dont a lot more, prolly about 5-7 inches wide. I've got 14.5 inches of wheel base so im just about at the truggy lenght. The only thing i need now is to find a body that would fit.

With the agreement of “IT’S Me“ I post my step by step process to make this mod.

1: It will be cheaper if you have already:
- Center dog bone.
- 4 old and unused drive shafts. (replace 1/8 diff output shaft )

2: It cost me (include shipping cost to Canada):

- 2 x LST 2 diff = $43 us ( 43/13)
- 4 x 1/8 diff output shaft + 2 x Drive cup - 8mm bore for 1/8 diff = $50 us
- 1 Dog Bone center kit from Kershaw = $ 55
- Bow ½ pvc (Fem to Fem) + 1” join = $0.50

First, I cleaned the diffs and put Gorilla Swat in it and change the 4 diffs output.


When I put them back together and tighten the ring to the cup, it was impossible to turn the diff by hands.



I noticed that the RC monster output was a little bit too long so I had to shave them to the appropriate length. Once shaved the diffs output, it worked perfectly!!

Next, plastic trimming can get started. It’s better to do it slowly to not take too much material at a time. I used this dremel bit to do all the work.


I hope the pictures talk by themselves.
A lot of small adjustments is needed to achieve a perfect fit.
