diff cups-spliting

[GTS 666]

Same with my EMBE. Need to feather it.

Sorry what's that better post pics man.

I have pics of it in a thread here, somewhere. It's my E-Maxx Brushless Edition. Pretty nuts!

Oh the shorterned version left me blank. Cool truck.

I've created 10 of those and going to install them today. Thanks for sharing this great idea!

 

[Deluge]

Awesome. Post pics if you can!

 

[BoukeG]

Well, I can, but they would look *exactly* like bigfol's

 

[Deluge]

Ah, I see. Figured maybe you did something a little different. Plus you have a sweet looking buggy, so more pics of it couldn't hurt.

Looks good, so it looks like you put them on every cup then.....? I have only had the front diff cups spilt, but I guess it could happen to any of them......

 

[BoukeG]

Yeah, I made 10. The only 2 I didn't do (hey that rhymes), are the CVD's in the front. My CF tube was 1 meter... I think I can create 2 more sets and still have some leftovers .

I haven't looked to see if they will fit in front over CVD'S, have you? Would be good if they do, those pins do become loose after a while.....

 

[BoukeG]

Well, I can take a look tonight. I'll need to lock tight them anyway, so I could check if they would fit...

Ahaha. I like to keep it interesting!

 

[BoukeG]

Just checked... I've got good news and bad news: yes, they fit, however not on stock bearing holders. I'm using 7075rc bearing holders and C-hubs and with those, you have a little more room for the extra 1mm on each side. Also, the rings need to be a little bit shorter.

Yet another reason to buy 7075 rc stuff

 

[BoukeG]

Here are some images.

In this image you see the width of the ring. And I've set it like this: so it is over half the pin. This will not drop out anymore...

Here is an image which shows you the room left in the holder. It is tight, but okay.

 

[bigfol]

Good stuff, another little job to do today.

 

[Deluge]

Nice! I like that.

 

[bigfol]

Up-date, these are holding up nicely, no more broken diff cups, redcat could start selling these as a hop-up.....

 

[BoukeG]

Yup, confirmed! Even though I've never had that issue, I do not have them now. The cf rings hold fine.
