I was using one with nitro for a few months befor I decided to convert it, I checked the CD and gears were ok, but leaked dry. Leaking is problematic with the silicone gasket design. Sorry I can't be of more help..

Thanks Bondo. I appreciate it.

I just want to get this "pick list" of parts together.

My setup is going to use 4S actually.

A MMM ESC and a 36-70-2000kv Medusa. I may upgrade to a larger motor later. But first I have to get this setup to be reliable.

I'm not sure If I will like the handling changes the center diff brings, since I mainly bash. I may give it a try though.

PS.....I've been running the 1/8th scale RCM diffs. Kinda disappointed they didn't hold up longer

My TRX CD in my nitro powered 3.3 Revo w/500,000 wt still diff out.

If you bash,considering staying with the tranny as is.

Murphy's Law- "If It Aint Broke, Don't Fix It ?

[shaunjohnson]

really?
ok then in that case i'm gonna put this kyosho 500k to replace the std oil in the revo center diff and see if that makes it any better...

[sjcrss]

gotta bust my chops eh...it was YOUR idea...I just implemented it...lol, and figured the in' & outs on how to make it work...Thanks T

So just to make sure we are clear: neweuser came up with the idea, mistercrash created it all, and sjcrss ripped it off and tried to take credit for everything? sounds about right

Anyway, just got the last required parts today for the Thunder Tiger hybrid version. Hopefully will start the build soon, so expect some questions all you guys who've already made one of these.

Delusions of Grandur right there nooby...if you peep sjcrss's sig, you can plainly see there the ideas. In fact, I wanted to stick a 1/8th diff in an FLM tranny case for years. Just never took the time to do it and Mike came out with the slipperential anyways, so there was no need for one.

It was a joke, hence the little winking icon.

[sjcrss]

LMAO, thats a good one....hehehehe.... Newe and I we talking and he had a idea to put a 1/8 scale diff in the erevo, but kinda like the original slipperential, I then decided to see if i could make one fit into the erevo tranny, and did some fitting ect. and came up with the design I used and supplied to MC, he made a great tutorial on how to make the diff...however MC did come up with some design tweeks of his own, that i will not take credit for, cause they were his idea's.... this about sums it up...

[sjcrss]

thanks T, well i think enough about who did what or when...I can supply info as well as MC...... I think credit needs to go where credit is due....so here goes.....
Original Idea 1/ scale diff in FLM case...newe
1/8 scale diff in erevo tranny ( I made up theplans ect. and did all the test fitting ect.) ...sjcrss
shaft re-design's and other gear mods...ect plus new ideas for the cd design...MC

IMO, who cares! lol It works!

I just started making my center diff. Today I ground down the center spur gear. It was suggested to me to use a nut and bolt assembly to chuck the spur into a drill press, then use an angle grinder while the drill press rotated the spur. I didn't have an angle grinder, so what I did was chucked the spur/nut/bolt assembly into a hand drill and used that to spin the spur while I ground it down against a bench grinder. Probably took longer than using an angle grinder, but it worked out fine.

Not sure if I took off enough yet, but I was concerned about grinding too much off of the outer lip and making it too weak/brittle. Is this going to be a problem if I left the modified spur like this?

[sjcrss]

It looks ok to me, one thing i did, is I determined the cap overhang, per the gear mounted to it, but it looks good so far
