Been trying to get my diff but they've been out of stock thanks for all the great tips Rich been watching a lot of the channel it's very helpful seeing I'm pretty new to the hobby✌🏻

Ordered mine..can't wait for it to come in. Great vid!

You made a great choice buying the King Headz motor mount. We use one and it's wonderful. We have had 1 ssc, 2 trce, 1 strc and one old slash with the KHz and every one uses the stock center diff with no issue. The common theme is that all of those aftermarket chassis use the same size (larger) bearing. The strc is the only one that uses the stock size and I have only ran it this year. It will probably need to be changed soon. Nice video as always RCN!

I always run a plastic spur. It's much quieter (I run indoors) and if something's gonna fail, I'd rather it be a $4 spur than anything else.

rccarerik, If you had the 1st generation cup from FLM then this is the problem when running big power (4S) set ups. The new cup as you can see in the video has an extended neck past the bearing shoulder (like the stock plastic cup) to help control shaft wobble and then aluminum wearing out. I would suggest trying it again if you have new version and run at lest 75K to 100K in the center diff to keep the shaft speed down when it wheelie's (which is the ultimate reason it wears the aluminum out).

cant wait to see this beast running at long last

I have had the centre diff cups for a wile and it was the best thing I bought for it, I also bought the diff cups aswell and they work great to, enjoy the diff cups it will not let u down aspeicel with the king head motor mount

I didn't know you were colorblind, wow. Yes, it's a bright red, but almost orange if you put it in the light.

We have raced for 3 years with the stock center diff in 5 different race built Slash 4x4s. It's not an issue. The bearing is the real problem. Greasing it lengthens it's lifespan.

The first Slash I had back in 2010, I went through 2 center diffs. The bearing ate away at the plastic race on the center diff where I pointed at in the video. I have replaced the motor mount with the King Headz that has the larger bearing. The point of my Sleeper series is to point out all the issues most people had, or what i experienced the first time around

sweet,glad you got it.it was hard to find the link for that thing.lol

Hell yeah I liked it I don't own a slash yet but I will soon an ill be buying that dif thanks to this video 👍🏻

Nice. I have been looking at one of those! As for Servo, Of course Savox 1258tg or if you want a tad quicker, 1257tg. If I were specing an ESC, the Orion r10 is my favorite right now. Motor can vary depending of your track and the class you want to race. The Orion VST2 Pro's are nice as well as the Tekin Redline Gen2's

It really seems like quality stuff!

I was so confused at first I was thinking the slash doesn't have a center diff lmao shows what I know I didn't know you could make the slipper clutch set up a diff, I'll keep mine slipper for bashing I don't go racing or speed runs.

Nice build man

Yep, finally, but worth the wait!

Thanks for the vids man , very helpful

Man, you really should have done a black and red color scheme... Since the motor and is red and black. But i guess the blue looks good! Cant wait to see it run

Thanks kman. The link was okay in the video description?

I have the exact same diff I got from a friend but I use the slipper since I mainly bash

Really nice videos !! Did you have any issues with fitting the metal center diff ? I have heard it takes a bit of dremel work to get things to fit properly ? Thanks

Also upgrade with the Robinson Racing metal spur gear. Those plastic Traxxas spurs are total rubbish. Don't worry about the hardened pinions just use a quality Robinson Racing version. The alloy diff case looks the goods mate I might try one when the plastic version flogs out.

Yeah, I'm usually not too concerned with color vs. performance.

Grommet???? You mean Gasket? How is this holding up, I currently use the Hot Racing Aluminum Diff case and have not had a single issue. I do like how the FLM comes anodized.

Yeah, 5-7-3/2.5 is my goto set up.

After running my new Arrma Typhon, I'm very interested in investing in a good center diff for my slash 4x4 ultimate. The stockie one is a joke, and can't run on 3s. This one look a lot beefier, and I'll bet it's up to the challenge.

Thanks for watching!

Just wondering if there was a particular reason you stayed with the plastic spur? I've seen several good offerings in both aluminum and steel. I went with the Robinson Racing gen3 slipper rather than a center diff, as it is much more easily tunable for individual track conditions.

Hey there! My plastic center diff failed after rubbing on the mount for too long it broke. Went onto the website to order one but I can't make an order there aren't any buttons or places to make one. Would you know why or how I could make an order? would greatly appreciate it Thanks

I didn't know you were color blind Rich! It's totally red! Besides that, I enjoyed the video!

Went to Proline yesterday and picked up the new pro 2 truck build. what servo, motor esc combo would you use in a 2wd.

Would you have any advice for getting the pin to fit for the sun gears. I have the front and rear diff cups from FLM and I love their stuff but my stock pin won't fit level almost like it's too long any advice would be great.

Cool deal!

Thanks!

Hey man, where do the gears for that new center diff cup come from? Is there a separate kit to by the gears or pinions from? Cause in ebay they only sell like yours a center diff housing but not the pinions in it! Thanks

First off I love the videos great work man. thumbs up dude. I got a flm center diff cup for my slash 4x4 and it ran really well compared to the slipper, the only down side is that the cup out put to the drive shaft wears out fast and makes the drive shaft spin lose. I took the diff apart and found the output shaft from the diff wore out the inside of the flm diff cup. Now I will admit that im a basher not a racer,so I run a mmp and a 2400kv combo on 4s 65c lipo so I don't know if its just being over powered. I went back to my old robinson racing slipper unit for now. Can you tell me if that's normal or if maybe its not ment for high powered systems, or if I missed a step in the install. Im was trying to find a replacement flm cup on ebay and none were in stock at the time. Hope the new batch of cups are made more durable in the future for bashers like me.... So I don't know if I should try it again for my truck. Did you have any issues with yours? Thank you very much kept pumping out thoses great videos brother god bless. e.m.

yep the link is good.

I thought so!

should i swap my slipperclutch to a centerdiff on a slash 4x4, i dont bash it use it only for dirt and little jumps. but does it destroy my driveshafts when i land on the ground

The bearing that goes on slipper clutch is the same that goes on center diff? I've tried to put, but the bearing stays tight over there, is that because the original center diff is plastic and doesn't support the heat generated by the bearing?

Me too!

Like the videos, especially the made up words, those are cool.

yeah, it's all the same to me!

I bought this, love it, only downer is i cant use my RPM Sensor, oh well.

I wish someone would make a set of hardened steel gears for the center diff. The Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro I’m running eats those flimsy plastic gears quickly

Are you running a separate lipo for your receiver? I'm deciding that vs a b. E. C

I'm going to have to research, and see if they make an aluminum center diff for a Revo 3.3.

how did you fit the original spider gears? did you took a photo of the gears in the alu cup? please tell me how you did it. thanks

Is 100k too much for it? Becuase that is all I have :0, please reply

What fluid would you recommend for the center diff? I’m going to drive in street mostly. Light dirt driving.

Can it handle a 3s. The stock can't. Also, any issues so far? I've read mixed reviews on the product.

How did you get the stock gears to fit? They are so large they stick out the top

I have a slash 4x4 and i just got into racing it. How can going to a center diff help me when i race??

Great ! Thanks

To be honest, I don't watch or like running vids. When I ever do watch them, I find myself tuning out very quickly. The other reason is I'm typically by myself at the track and it's pretty hard to film and drive! Although I have gotten better if you see the Durango footage I have.

im new to this, why is a center diff better than a slipper clucth

Why you didn't show how you did🤔

Have you used the fast lane diff cups for the front or rear diff?

What colors do you see when you look at stuff? I do not mean to be rude if I sound like I am

Why does my plastic gear always strip when racing on the dirt?

Very cool man :o)

Why wouldn’t put a metal sour gear in also?

How come you didn't go all steel gears?

would this fit a traxxas rally?

why dont you post racing vids.

I run 5-7-3 in my rc8t.. =)

How much is it?

Can you run this diff for bashing?

They need to invent glasses that detect color and put it into the picture for people like you! LoL!

It's red

woo hooo last part :D

Haha, my standard Traxxas Slash Center Differential Just melted and "exploded" xD

HOW? HOW DOES THIS GO TOGETHER? it makes no sense, doesn’t even look like it’s designed for the same diff internals.

it's red

Valspar makes color blind glasses and they work. I bought a part for my girlfriend and she can now see color. Just sayin. Good video.

red or green ..pfff who cares ,it works ,thats what is important :)

In the RC world, the most frustating thing is shock springs. I hate it when they put a dab of paint to tell which spring rate it is. The Tekno springs are the worst! as for paint, i always have to look at paint color names, but then these vendors come up with off the wall names! Other than that, I may dress funny sometimes!

:/

It must be frustrating to be color blind.

You are coler blind?!?!??!!
