Revo tranny center-diff opinions?

[sjcrss]

do you think if they release the gear from the traxxas cd, will work?

It may, but will require some machining to mount it to the adapter I have designed. The traxxas diff uses the output shats to support the entire lower gear and diff assy. My design is correctly suppoted by the adapter at one end and the diff cup at the other. Superior in that respect.

I would have to see the traxxas gear, but looking at the space available in the tranny for the diff, it will be difficult to get the lower gear to line up with the idler. I think that I can get aways with some simple tranny case mods, and a modded idler.

My method of mounting the lower gear requires the adapter to be a certain thickness. If I could find a suitable gear that had a solid center, I could get the thickness down alot and maybe get the gears to line up perfectly with no mods to the idler...

I will continue with this design until I can get my hands on the traxxas center diff gear. I can design another if necessary!

Whats the tooth count on the Revo center diff?I have a Slayer and it says its 2nd gear has a 38 tooth.Does that sound right.I would have thought Traxxas would have just used the stock Revo 2 speed and just changed the spurgear.Link is there a way to fit this concept center diff into my Slayer?If so pm me and I can prepay for 1 of them.I assume that the E Revo trans isnt compatible in the Revo?Slayer.And if it did couldnt a guy use it instread of a conversion motormount?Just curious.
Thanks Will

I am not sure if the erevo trans is a direct bolt in, but people have put them in trevos, so it should work the same in the slayer. I cannot belive that traxxas changed the tranny case and the output gears on the slayer... Oh well, I am sure that they will offer a center diff for it. If you really wanted a center diff, swap in a nitro revo tranny and just use the traxxas center diff kit. The just run the 36t spur and a large pinion to take care of the different internal ratio...
