Hot bodies 1/8 diffs

Sounds like a pretty sweet second truck! You should start another build thread for that project.

Hey Mike, I just ordered my slipperential and UCD mount and I already got the Ofna 131mm and the Duratrax 83mm center shafts. I was going to see if you could measure the holes where you mounted the UCD mount onto the center skid plate for me, so I could use the same center shafts? (Pretty Please!!) Also, do I need to contact Monster Mike about obtaining the right length upper bracket for the UCD mount? As I noticed you had problems with fitting the slipperential into the UCD mount on page 3.

Any help here will get me going a little smoother. Thanks in advance, and I am going to start my build soon and hope to finish over the winter time while work is slow.

Hey cliff,
here you go. Keep in mind that I used the FLM center skid plate, and the measurements are from the center of the holes to the first edge of the plate, (there is a beveled edge) not the very edge of the plate. The template that came with my motor mount must have been for an older version of the motor mount as the holes did not line up to my assembled mount. I assembled the mount and made my own template. I'm not going to do a full build thread, but I will post some pics along the way. Good to know your starting your build. As far as the top plate I think mike had some top plates go out that were the wrong size. If you have the Slipper assembled it should fit in it with no play. If does not sit in it right then let Mike know. Are you using the FLM chassis? if so pay attention to where I notched the frame. You will have to do the same if you want to use the same length drive shafts. Have fun and if you have any questions I will help any way that I can.
Mike.

Thanks for the help CMAC! I will be using the FLM center skid and chassis as well, so I will have to notch the chassis for sure.

Big thanks for the pic and the dimensions. I haven't ordered my center skid plate yet so when I get it I will make sure I am reading the dimensions properly.

So the slipperential comes with a couple drive cups (8mm, I believe). But are you using a couple of these (in 8mm size) to connect to the 13 tooth gear shaft for the center shafts/dogbones to fit into?

Yes I did use both drive cups ,(8mm? I'm not sure either) on the Slipper.
