If I had access to all the tools a machine shop has I'd probably give it a shot myself.

I'm a little more comfortable with the idea of drilling the shaft pin holes, but since I'm going to use a machine shop for the hardened cap I might as well let them drill those too, since they can better ensure a dead-center hole. Also, costwise it will probably be the same, since it's such a small job and they'll probably have a min charge of 1-2 hrs labor which should be plenty of time to do the work.

I think it would be good to start a new "official" Revo hybrid center diff thread that could even get stickied. Right now there's lots of info floating around, but it's scattered through many different threads. We should work on a new write-up and bring everything together into one.
