atom3624 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I like MSR8's.Some adapt Pro Buggy shocks - probably better fronts all around, but 4, not 8. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Diffs - high power E-Maxxes use Unlimited Engineering 6- or 8-Spider - not cheap. The best. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thinking is that as you increase the power / torque and as / when you give it the beans, a plastic case might stretch / deform. potentially starting to skip a couple of cogs, eventually chewing the gears.If you're staying nitro, they are powerful, but have less power low down .... which is compensated by a clutch with a higher rev bite point .... which will take you back to the above!Traxxas diffs are OK, if you stay stock. As you up the ante, then, erm, perhaps not!Those UE diffs have built-in bulkheads as well - overall far from a bargain, but not THAT bad a price - believe it or not!Some go for LST diffs - not sure how they fit - they are solid but some have had problems with them.Some go for CEN diffs for really high power installations .... apparently they're another option, but not certain of dimensions.

Malcs RC Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 cheers mate some good advice there yeah il have go order the e revo diffs and the metal cases then as ive been waiting to fit my steel drive shafts so do the lot one go.

Tug Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 UE diffs are da bomb! They'll never let you down. They're very expensive, the last pair I bought were used and still cost 220 notes. The diffs aren't actually all that special, it's the housings that allow you to fit 1/8 buggy diffs with no modifications necessary. If you purchase the housings on their own, there's a few buggy diffs that'll drop straight in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcs RC Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 i will keep my eyes peeled for a set as im wanting a bullet proof set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Keep an eye on the UE site - there are sales from time to time.Main other source is Ebay.comDon't forget import duties - and that courier thing.Royal Fail add a handling charge when a duty needs to be paid - strange they provide the same service without it if it gets through!

Malcs RC Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) hi I thought id do little update as been a while I managed to buy a supermaxx chassis and big block engine mounts so fit this lrp 32 in.next is the spider diffs and cases.also need some decent shockers Edited January 24, 2017 by Malcs RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I think the picco 26 is the absolute best engine on offer if youre selling it and it runs well let me know. If you go with rrp gears you can just replace one gear with the rrp gear and it be just as good. i got the full foc on a revo .26 but straight after installing it found most people just swap out one gear i forget which gear it is. 1st or the smallest transfer gear. Another thing i found fitting the full kit is you need the old bar from std gearbox to use with the rrp foc. If you have the traxxas foc gears fitted it'll have the foc bar. lay shaft idk. luckily i still had the bar i my box. I doubt the ue diffs will be needed i never touched my revo diffs not even a service or shim and they was fine with picco 26 power. BL diffs could hold up fine to the .32 Revo and maxx have the same diffs but the cases are different square cases on the maxx and round cases on the revo. So if you did need new gears youll be able to get them for £10 easy from ebay chop shops. The BL diffs have a strengthening I bar added. But adding some alloy diff cups might be as good. That's a nice chassis are they stronger and stop the maxx snapping in half or dp they still need chassis braces adding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcs RC Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Cheers that's good bit of advice yea it's running the forward only and also I need rrp uprated gears to replace standard traxxas I do have a fetish of the picco 26 max I have 3 brand new ones including this one this been run 10 mins only I built this as my proper first RC truck was a t maxx and sold it so thought I'd get another build it even better .so you reckon just go diff cups them spider diffs are dear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
