Muggy diffs in a maxx

[SnoopMaxx]

Awesome.. I love when he says "That was coooaall "

Yes, you can drill out the stock part to 8mm to fit the diff shaft- seen it done a couple times. You cant use Mikes part with cvds, you'd have to use dogbones with different drive cups that he sells (8mm bore), or possible drill out the cvd to 8mm, but that might weaken it too much.

Thanks Neil, that's what I was thinking.
I'll go with Traxxas CVD drilled to 8mm.çà
We'll see if it hold up.

Mechanical brakes! Nice. Definitely get v3's and post pics, you build some really nice rides, I like all your youtube stuff.

I'm posing this question to the 2 people who posted pics of their projects. I was wondering what you used for the center diff. The mount, diff, top plate, and is that a t-maxx motor mount on the center diff? I am new to the forum and just getting back into rc and saw that this thread is based on an idea I had been thinking about before finding this forum. Thanks for any answers and sorry for length on message.

Very good writeup! This is a very good upgrade for the Traxxas trucks, the stock diffs are very weak.

[MetalMan]

And the front upper arms are... nonexistent

Heh.

We do like to help other people with their builds when ever possible, but we dont just build our own trucks for use as 'how-to' guides for other users who dont have the skill or initiative to complete their own vehicles.

Posting parts lists and # is a long job and most people dont tend to keep receipts or a log of every single part they've bought- especially if the intention was to build a custom one-off as a personal project.

If you look through the whole thread (yep, all 16 pages), you will see the truck in completed form pretty much- it uses normal maxx suspension essentially, just with the revo arms substituted in place of maxx uppers.

most people do not list part numbers, So certainly not expecting that.
Just a simple part name would do
like (picked up some Losi 8 shocks today)
( the losi 8ight shocks are almost a drop in replacement)
or (I dropped in some revo upper arms and they fit great)

I do agree that detail is nice when eyeballing someones build thread.

I am bad about build threads, I just post pictures of the finished product most of the time.

I leave out the fact that most of my materials are scrounged out of a dustbin... and other choice areas in town... Plus I usually leave out the fact I made 4 of whatever to get the final product correct (or maybe just close).

All in good fun, huh!

I don't mean to be a jerk, I'm known as a nice guy but the thread is difficult to follow. I think you have a cool build going but over the 10yrs of of being on forums and builds I have never seen a build thread so mixed up and lacking part info.
If you posted and pic and said you picked up some OFNA truggy rear shocks because they are 4.5" long or bolted in a rcm emaxx motor mount and used a xray 808 center buggy diff , then that would be help make it more exciting and usefull to the readers, things would be clear, not a constant mystery.
Hope that Makes sense to you.

I'll delete this later, as to not interrupt the thread .

To late man you been a jerk from the last two and to 3 posts, maybe the problem is that you have been on forums for the last 10 years and expect to much.

If you read the thread lots of your answers are there, sorry if those pictures aren't self explanatory enough for you....I would think that most people would notice that one picture there's no chassis then the next picture the chassis is there.... AND then the next picture the chassis is smaller and the sides are bent up

And finally there's shock towers and some shocks in the picture

again this is not a right up how to, the diffs were the WHOLE entire reason for this thread THE TRUCK IS A AFTER THOUGHT as in it was randomly built with parts lying around in parts bins....

So to answer one of your questions.... I dont care if the thread/build was random, BTW nice stealth editing...

[suicideneil]

What are those shocks from? Never seen anything quite like it....
