I got a couple LST2 diffs on ebay for cheap because I thought it would be nice to build a couple spares for my ERevo. So in the process of shaving a little off the thickness of the diff cases to have them fit in the ERevo's bulkheads, I ruined one set of cases by taking off too much. So now I have one complete spare diff built and one diff without a case. No big deal.
Looking At that case less diff I thought, I bet I could make a center diff out of it. So I did, but instead of going with threaded holes in the ring gear, I made three holes, counter sunk from the inside of the gear to secure threaded stand offs with flat head screws, the output gear will be screwed on the other end of the stand offs on the outside of the ring gear. I saw this idea somewhere but I can't find where exactly. I wish I could because I would mention the name of the person who came up with the idea of the stand offs. It was much easier to just make holes in the ring gear and not have to put M3 threads in them. Another thing I like about it is that it is actually smaller from end to end than the stock Traxxas center diff so it will be easy to position it perfectly with shims inside the tranny. And it is thin enough to use the output gear to it's full thickness, no need to sand it down on the belt sander to make it fit.



No brain, no headaches.
