Diffs... - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

Yea, UE sells the bearings if you upgrade to 8mm cvd's or whatnot. Which you can actually get 6mm and when cash allows, upgrade to 8mm by simply buying the stub axles since the rest is the same. The UE aren't cheap, but there not unreasonably priced like the rest of there stuff. I wouldn't get the RPM though because they wear out around the bearings and create slop because there nylon...There nice, but not if you don't like buying things more than once. By the way, you don't really need to worry about breaking UE stuff. There isn't a free replacement, but hell, I don't think they need it :D.

first question will the flm hybrid bulks hold standard size diffs or is it just are they only allowed to hold the 1/8 size. Next question am going with the hb diffs and the 8mm ue cdvs nice but will run me like 250 bucks. But i was thinking will the t-maxx 3.3 diffs and cvds hold up to a 50mph bl e-maxx if so it does not got the semi-bling of the 8mm but it would be like 150 bucks cheaper. will this work does anybody use these on there bl combo are the strong. Right now i can afford the 3.3 diffs and cvds will the hold or should i wait 3 months till i get cash(money comes slow no job right now) to get the hb and 8mm cdvs.

the FLM hold 1/8ths, you get the combo that would hold standard. I would get the 6mm cvd's and hold out. 8mm are over kill imo, but that's just me.

yes i know they will hold but will the 3.3 t-maxx stock cvds hold up to a 50 mph brushless combo because the t-maxx 3.3 does like 45

they should hold fine; i really don't think that speed has as much effect on them as much as torque does. you know that brushless motors have soooooo much more torque right?

on another note, you will probably have to modify the 3.3 sliders to fit 1/8 diffs, and you know that in order to use 3.3 slider on an e-maxx (i presume you have an e-maxx) you need revo knuckles, turnbuckles and arms. (i think)

You don't accually have to mod the shafts to fit the diffs. You have to mod
the diffs to fit the shafts. The 1/8 diffs have the cups made on the shafts.
The emaxx diffs have the shaft the the drive shafts fit on.

are the 3.3 diffs different from stock emaxx diffs will they fit in the combo bulks. Will they hold up to brushless or will they die on me i thought if they hold up to the 3.3 maxx they might hold up on a 50mph bl e-maxx is this true or will they break

The only difference between the 3.3 diffs and the Maxx diffs are the cases...They won't hold for long...Get the 1/8th with 6mm cvds...You could get the 1/8th scale diffs/hybrids and run the 3.3 knuckles with Revo or 3.3 cvd's instead of the UE's.

neweuser · 11.08.2006, 10:07 AM

I would just get the 6mm though, if you plan on 50mph that means you are gonna have a pretty powerful set up. I can't see the 3.3 stuff last that long and you'll find yourself replacing those every few runs.

I have tested the 3.3 shafts on a neu 1512 4s setup. It has held up ok so far.
The truck weighed out at 8 lbs rtr with lipos 8000 packs. I run 40 series mulchers
as well. I am more worried about the diffs going out. Just to let peeps know.
