Hey Monster Mike: Maxx CD - Page 6 - RC-Monster Forums

Arct1k · 07.30.2009, 02:51 PM

This is the G3R but don't think a maxx would be much different - The shock position means the CD can be mounted more centrally in a maxx.

with the maxx placement isn't so critical. since you have to clearance the chassis anyway it doesn't matter where it ends up fore or aft. once the center diff is in make the shafts and away you go. Maybe I'm missing something, but I know I could easily swap mine out to any maxx. You could even use any aluminum maxx center skid as the baseplate and then drill 4 holes for the mount.

You guys are bringing back some memories...

3 and a half years ago..... pre-truggy days, days of plastic spurs, LMT motors, BK controllers....

funny how I dubbed it "G3R" in those days, just because it had 3 diffs...

Damn.... That setup looks so nice... Do you still drive? how does is handle in comparison to the stock drive train? I can't wait to get my Center Diff setup.

Thanks.

Sure I am still driving. But now the truck has this setup, early slipperential

browse the gallery to find the very same truck in his lawnmower configuration

I'd say it handles kinda like a revo truggy mix

seriously, stock drive train is more of a basher thing, and the traxxas centerdiff solution is crappy IMO, so this seemed like an obvious thing to do back then. And yes, it significantly improved the handling on a track.

Thanks again

Interesting I was going G3R as Gorrillamaxx V3 Revo - Never thought of it because of three diffs :)

I guess its an antique... lol

That was in the days of the G2, and the G2R was brand-new. Apparently I did not expect Gorillamaxx to come out with a V3... thought the nickname G3R was smart back then...

Success, my time machine works

One of the best GorillaMaxx revos around, and still is

Bump. Here is another group of guys that would buy a center diff:

Almost done, Zack – ran into a couple issues, but I should have them done in a day or so with any luck.

It's been 5 weeks since first estimate and 3 since the last...
Sorry I didn't share this earlier... I though it would actually be out with the following days, I would order mine to secure it minutes after publication, then help to get the word out. Sorry it has turned out this way.

Well in all sincerity, Mike how's the process going?

Rivermaxx · 10.12.2009, 11:22 AM

I been waiting for these for over a year. I would really like to get one for my high speed project. It would truely benfit me in my gearing choices.

jayjay283 · 10.12.2009, 04:19 PM

I have some money its rare, if i was Mike id have them out within the week before one of the customesr (me) spends it all on beer and smokes

you would complete me

JERRY2KONE · **Longer -** 10.12.2009, 06:51 PM

Some of us have been waiting for this much longer. I have two trucks setup that I could use this center mount for and have asked Mike about making these a few times. One just gets tired of bugging him, because we all know he is a busy man. None of us wants to get on his wrong side, but this item is one that can really do well if it is made right. He really has not been into it because I do not think he sees this as a benefit to the Maxx vehicle. I have had money set aside for some of these for nearly two years now.
