Same thing here for the Helical ,more angle provides more contact, more gears evenly distribute the load, not just one tooth at a time.

Not my thread , or would supply name part numbers. It was just an example

Good day

Again Since were using real world examples, what type of gears do indy cars use (straight cut) What kind of gears do non snycro trans use.... strait cut as well.. Reason for that is weight/strength, helical offer quieter operation..

Back to rc application... many ON this forum have proved that the side loading of the helical gears utterly destroy the inner bearing..

If this thread bothers you so much then leave it and dont look at it again..... im not going to waste any more of my time responding to you..

No part number or link for your magic helical gears? What kind of crap is that? I hate it when people post "teaser pics" of stuff and them make me look around for like 30 seconds to find them on some other site. Its like people have no idea how lazy I am. I really think all build threads should have a parts list and exploded diagrams at the end of every post, just so I do not have to read too much, it hurts my eyes.

Also, how did you get the retainer/locator ring to fit the nose(pinion) area of the muggy diff? The lst diff case I took a look at was larger in diameter than the inside diameter of the ring.

Drill/ dremel and PVC pipe for the spacer, try to get a tapered 1/2 PVC so when you slip them over the diff they wont pop out the bulk head.

you look right at the diff and you can see how much I drilled the yoke thingy, all of this only take about 15-20 minutes to do.

WOw that's very cool,
Can you tell me what shocks you used here and how you like them ?


It's looks like they would be great for my 1/5 emaxx build in my Sig
Thank you for your time

Isn't the Aftershock Diffs the same as the LST ?

Aftershock, lst1 and lst2 all use the same diffs. They have 43t ring gears and 13t pinions.

The muggy uses 45t ring gears and 11t pinions.

All of the cases fit all of the diffs. So you can run al cases on a muggy and plastic cases on a lst. I would run al in everything, but I am having good success with the plastic case in the front of my emaxx. I have an al in the rear.

You also have quite a few options on the diff cups. I run nova rc alloy cups, but the 8t heavy duty cup looks just as stong, and a bit lighter. Stock uses a plastic cup, not the best for big power...

Oooh, nice. I was expecting to see a dual Bl truck, but that twin nitro powered thing looks just as cool!
