Has anyone used it on a Caster F8T?

Has anyone here tried the slipper on a D8? If so what did it take to do so? Pics would be nice

It fits the Caster truggy - I will let people know what is needed to install it into the D8T when I return from IHobby next week.

just an example of shimming needed for an RC8b with RC-M conversion kit.

Could someone please give me the Diameter of the adjusting ring and the distance from outside to outside of the bearings? With this info I could determine whether or not it will work in my application!
Thanks in advance.

32.75mm from outside to outside of 8x16 bearings. About 41mm OD on the adjusting ring, including the slight protrusion of the adjustment screw. :)

Thank you, And with these dimensions I can now say the slipperential will work in my D8 with less than 1.5mm shimming to the carrier bearings and a little mod to the top plate and may need to use the D8T shims under the diff mount. It has now moved to near the top of my "must have" list

Again thanks Mike

The top plate isn't shown, but it looks just like the one on my RC8 conversion(but thicker to capture the bosses on the D8 CD bulks). :)

WOW, very cool stuff Mike! I will definitely want the receiver box and servo mount

RC-Monster Mike · 11.28.2009, 01:28 AM

I actually made a custom aluminum top plate for the D8 to allow use of the Slipperential. I also made a custom radio box and battery tray for a complete conversion - as soon as I can get a few through production, I will list them in the store.

so no slipperential for CEN Matrix TR? Or Losi Muggy?

RC-Monster Mike · 12.29.2009, 01:58 PM

It should fit either vehicle with minor shimming required for the CEN at least - may not need shims for the Muggy unless using the 52t spur. :)

Urgeoner · 12.30.2009, 01:07 AM

ok thank Mike...may buy one in near future :)
