Negative does just fine and from the results I have gotten
Cannot tell a difference at all. I did swap both fr and rr ring gear
And pinion and works great

Any idea what the tooth count on the buggy pinion and the ring gear are?

Also what's the count on the truggy gears?

Don't quote me on this but 10 and eight and if not mistaken
I think both are 43. Buggy is more beveled. I am not saying go
Out and do this I am just saying it is working for me. I am not the type person not to do something because someone tells me you can't I must find
Out for myself and sometimes I fund out they were right and other times I find out they were wrong. But please don't think I am telling anybody to go and switch theirs I did this to try something and it has worked well for me my times haven't dropped any but this is just my opinion not suggesting anyone else do it

yeah thats what im afraid off. ohh well, losi it is. thanks for that.

Interesting.... Would be curious to see how this works out for you. Does the truggy seem to have the same torque and top speed?

I've seen someone run the buggy r/p in their truggy, front/rear. Truggy had absolutely no punch as expected. So, I guess it will work if you have no other choice.

Look forward to Roasting your Clutch, Buggy gearing Will NOT be low enough to push the truck around in some Traction situation's. Ask Adam what his thoughts are on running buggy gearing in the Truggy, He's Also going to say its A BIG NO NO. Yes you may have gotten it to work, BUT there's NOTHING what so ever wrong with the Truggy gear's. If you cant make them work, Your doing something seriously wrong and just aren't seeing it.

They will physically work in the truggy, but that doesn't mean it should ever be done. Truggies are geared differently than buggies for a reason. Simply swapping the truggy gears for buggy gears and doing nothing else to compensate for it will not end well. You will be geared way too high, which will not only kill the performance of the truck, but also put a ton of stress on the powerplant/drivetrain.

There was a time when many truggies used buggy gearing in the diffs, but to compensate for it, they used massive spur gears in upwards of 65 teeth. This worked in theory, but in execution the large spur gear cause many problems with rotating mass and center of gravity.

I will just say one thing. The engineers know what they're doing. There is a reason for the difference in gearing.

This is quite an interesting topic I have found a few guys running the 8T.1 diffs in their 8T.2's because they beleive they are stronger.
I havent done and I probably wouldnt use buggy gears in a truggy for the fact that they are made for buggy not truggy.
But I would be interested in seeing if anyone on here is using the 1T.diffs in the 2T.truck.

Buggy is 13t and Truggy is 10t for minions. Just FYI.

1.0 Vs 2.0 is ZERO difference, Some guys feel the Cases are the issue but Good luck finding any 1.0 cases anymore.

The diff mod: drill out the holes in the inner and outer hige pin brace, also through the gearbox... replace the stock screws, with mugen nuts and bolts... what this does, is keep everything together.. so no flex!!! Problem is, I need someone to find out the mugen part # for us...lol

TOPS
PEACE

p.s. I need to do this mod bad... I have blown out 2 diff, only raced 3 times this yr... lol prolly only 45mins total run time...

Well just got done with full day of practice friday and qualifing today. I just got done going through the truggy added new diff fluids and checked everything for the a main tommorrow and so far everything is ok. The truggy has plenty of punch can clear anything on the track on demand. No clutch issues I cannot tell a difference I shimmed it just like I did the truggy Ring gear and have three gallons on it. Until it lets go I am going to run it, but tommorrow is a different day and it may ream on out or everything that everybody has said that will happen may happen but if it does.

I wonder why so many people have problems with the rear diff? My truggy runs great and all I do is follow the directions in the manual. I hope all of you that are having problems get help or figure it out. This is a really great truck, especially when it is running on all cylinders.

Small world, we are also here racing the same race.




Anybody that wants to watch the race can do so live. This puts liverc to shame and is free. Adam, Rhonda, and Mark will be racing.
