LST diff in a revo...

I may have a solution but you won't like it. I ran the Summit shafts on my E-Revo so I didn't use Losi's output diff cups. I made output shafts using TRA5454 stub axles. It's just a matter of grinding off the threaded part just enough and you can use it for output shafts. Then you could try RC Monsters Drive cups on the shafts. I think it might give the few mm more you need to prevent those CVDs from popping out. I have some RC Monster Drive Cups that I could measure for you and I also still have the LST diffs I used in the E-Revo so I could even slip a drive cup on one of the shaft and measure how far it sticks out of the diff.

Lemme know.

Once the dead of summer hits hard i will be building more, since the rc room has a new ac unit!!!

Yeah, I listed a bunch of my rc on craigslist and you know how that goes. Everyone wants them for free or close to it. Been working on fixing up the house so money is going towards that for now.

I saw how you made the output shafts and should have plenty of those stock shafts laying around. That would be great if you could measure them up when you have it opened up or what ever. I only have one shaft that pops out of the cup every now and then. Front right. The rest hold in there well, the rear diff is loose in the revo bulk head. May pack it with hot glue like someone mention for a quick fix until I feel like taking it apart again. Most of my RC play time anymore goes into my 5b. But the G3R get the second most time.

No problem.
