Well the mini revo center trans is a no go, OD is only 1mm smaller from 20 to 19... still too big. I might look into the micro cars or just make a trans case that doesnt look right... or make a trans without a diff whee

Converting a bevel drive differential to the other style is a possibility but a bit further than I am trying to go modifying wise. I want to make it as easy as possible to do this for other people if possible.

Do the 1/16 traxxas vehicles have a differential available for the center trans? If not the pinion setup is probably just as viable.

Ok I see they do have a center diff available, I just ordered a cheap trans from ebay we will see. I am still open to other options as well

That was the first thing I tried but it literally doesn't fit in any way that the trans would look even close to original. I even pulled apart my mini t 1.0 and it's diff is even bigger. I measured the stealth and that diff is far too big for that as well.. I need to find a 1/18 diff that is smaller...

I have been in a sort of conundrum over this project, namely the the transmission. I don't know any transmission internals that will fit in the space of the transmission case and retain a differential. I have been considering using a series of pinions to emulate the internals of the 6 gear transmiss...

You think photos are cool? You should see them in person! I can't help thinking how cool each piece is as it comes off the printer

Decided to focus on bellcranks today, got them designed went to design the nylon nuts for the top and.. went "you imbecile" and pulled some 4-40 nylon shock nuts out lol

Some interesting shots showing the bellcrank shrinkage and the.. erm. trans lol

It would, but most associated chassis since then tend to have some curves

Oh yes it was the TQ 10 chassis I was mentioning because of its hard sharp corners, it is like an alternate universe rc10 graphite... from the same universe lol It would not be hard to mod the chassis I have into a quasi TQ 10, just need measurements. But I will worry about that when the rest of the...

and has that bizzaro world superman faceted chassis

Trans will externally look correct but internally likely be off the shelf. I don't have any precision machining tools

Short arms is because I have no other models to use or full size ones to model. A graphite should be long arm.

Got a chassis printed wheeee, I need to mess with my support settings on this computer as they are not coming off like they did this weekend heh.

I think it is pretty sweet myself.

And my $80 for 2 tires is too broke to risk that... I wish them luck on selling them...

Have the other printer out of the closet grinding away again making more prototypes...

the tiny battery box is precious
