Revo tranny center-diff opinions? - RC-Monster Forums

This whole diff issue is making me wish I kept my maxx just for the simple fact it had the slipperential. I hate constant wheelie's and bad power distribution. I still think FLM and Mike should take the FLM tranny case, reform the lower half to hold a 1/8 diff, and then incorporate the slipperential gears to also fit. Somewhat like a slipperential, but with the tranny so you can still use the motor mount.

If they would design a new case that was similar to the new emaxx/erevo case, make it so that it uses the same input shaft and idler, but has the lower area remade to accept a diff. It would have larger bearing areas to accomodate 8/x16 bearings, and would have custom made output shafts. They would have to either make a 33t gear, or mod the existing gear like I will. The only real difference would be the larger bearings. I am stuck using 8x12 bearings as the stock tranny case has 6x12mm bearings stock.

I plan to use ceramic bearings, best that I can find.

Exactly my idea. I sent the idea to Mike yesterday, no response as of yet. I hope he thinks about it.

We will see. I will continue my quest to get a decent diff in the stock tranny case...
