Revo outer diff case width / length / height: 35mm / 54mm / 43.3mm
Muggy outer diff case width/ length / height: 37mm / 55.5mm / 43mm

So, subscribed to this thread to see your progress. For it to be a cheap mod it would require to keep the stock front, rear and center driveshafts. Centers are probably covered with Mike's couplers. But how about front and rear driveshafts?

Font and rear diff to wheel driveshafts are easy. Just mod the stub axles from the revo (cut off the threaded portion) and replace the lst output cups with them. Also the case size is not realy the reason it takes alot of modding to fit.

Off-topic: how is the rotor wrapping going?

Thanks, I have put the rotor wrapping on hold as I needed to clean up my workbench, and that required building a new charge station, moving my grinder, drill press and band saw. Plus I had to finish up the 6x6 maxx and fix a few lipos. So I will get back to that this weekend if time allows.

I have about 3 hrs on the lst diffs in the maxx and it is working well. I really need to have the front case support machined from scratch, as all of the other existing case supports are too thin to mod to the correct id and do not really have enough material to accept the cuts I need to make. I may weld some steel ones up, as that would offer the strength I need without being extra difficult to machine.

Ok. Hope to see more progress soon in both areas.
