werner sline

you mean the place the center diff actually takes ?

thorwil

werner sline: yes, assuming the bearings sit exactly flush, the space between the diff bearings, what could be called the installation length of the differential.

werner sline

between the tower that hold the ball bearing, you got 32.9mm max

I also took those pictures. you should have more infos and read the dimensions

22.4mm :



might also be usefull :

22.1mm and 32.5mm ( the bearings can slide quite a lot on the diff outdrives. so mugen let some space between 32.5 for the diff and 32.9 between the towers )

I know, but some guys are willing to take that chance because they think the mugen arms are the weakest in the business.. Whenever a new mugen buggy comes out, I doubt they will change the arms,mugen has run the same design for well over 10 years... it's only an issue for guys that have hard crashes,which kinda sucks for the little guy... I hear hb has really good arms

hmm, I had a hard crash yesterday and my front arm survived a pretty rough crash, i hit hard enough to bend my sumo front skid plate and it also bent the rear front hinge pin brace back some

by chance, would anyone have that lil piece that the transponder mounts to xtra they would like to sell? I bought a used MBX7R eco and for some reason it wasnt on there. I really dont want to buy a plastics replacement kit just to get that lil piece if I can help it lol

thorwil

werner sline: Awesome, thank you very much!

It's better off inside your receiver box,the wires will last longer..works perfect in there

werner sline

by the way , what do you want to do ?

I will soon try a eb48.2 diff in a mbx7r. it's lighter but, I think the mugen diff works better ( it has more oïl and bigger pinions )

thorwil

werner-sline: convert a CEN Matrix. The Mugen is one of 3 buggies with a motor/diff mount to my liking, strange as it may seem to put high-end stuff on that platform. Got a nice deal for RC8B diff and wondered if it could be compatible. Seems like it should. Though the next nice deal already happened for a Serpent mount, so I'm about to learn the hard way if that fits (or if I have to consider fabricating a new cover piece)

werner sline

oh ok, I did several conversion ( xray xt8 to 6s BL for example )
I went the cheap way : L shaped 3mm aluminium piece from the hardware store + some diff plate that take 16mm bearing ( like the tekno ones for example )
that's a ultra lx2 diff + ultra lx diff plates for my monster truck :
check out my photobucket for more pictures

of course, this simple system is not as easy to adjust as modern sliding diff mounts, but its way cheaper and I always use some strong 4mm screw to hold the motors.

Hi all, New to 1/8 EP Buggy. I'm in the build of my New Mbx7r Eco...currently running Mbx7r Nitro and have raced many brands over the years only ever gas, This is the best handling Buggy I've ever had, which is why I need to try EP so this is a first.
Now I wish I had read this thread earlier regarding Esc and Motor Combo as I've purchased Tekin Rx8 Gen2 with 2600kv. I have never read on this thread anyone using this high KV motor, Am I better to sell it new before I install it or is this motor able to be dialled down....Ill more likely run the 14t pinion with box set up for a start with a Gens 5000mAH 4s 40c battery.
Thx in advance for any input

Yes sell that monster to Werner Sline. He needs more power. Lol. 1900 is all anyone ever needs imo. I have tried big motors, usually more wheel spin and hotter temps.

Yep patrick is right,
