i dont think there is any difference between the center diffs in the rc8 and rc8.2e, fronts and rears would be different though

can always check part numbers on the associated site if your unsure, diff housing should be the same, and i assume thats what u want to make sure it fits

Basically the MGT will be an XXL.........

Hi AssociatedRC8,

looks like your mailbox is full, I get the message "AssociatedRC8 has exceeded their stored private messages" when try to send you one. Can you send me the cad files? My email should be already in your mailbox (so don't delete that one right away ). How is the MGT going?

 

[AssociatedRC8]

No worries mate, I have cleared my inbox a bit.
Will try and send through tonight.

You still making these and sell them?

Anything you would do differently?

I just received a rolling chassis and a motor mount/center diff of your design. As I am just about to begin the completion of this conversion, is there anything you would have done differently looking back?

 

[AssociatedRC8]

Nope, nothing different apart from setting it up to run dual battery trays which is still on the list of things to do.

no regrets

nope, no regrets.

I've had to make the body fit (extra holes in the body) but it looks sweet

 

[Zeldinio13]

Excellent! I look forward to finishing mine. Have you found any center drive shafts that are available at local hobby shops? I've only been able to find them online that would fit well. And I love the VW body too, moredruid.

 

[moredruid]

The body is for the Traxxas Tmaxx or Emaxx so it's a bit smallish but I (and the mrs!) like it and that's what counts.

I've used HPI center shafts/dogbones, they are readily available here. Any racing brand would work as long as your local shop carries it. They don't wear out quickly, they're pretty protected so they should last you quite a while.

Just an update about my slow progressing brushless conversion. It’s not a MGT but close: a Thunder Tiger S50 Sledgehammer . I sold the motor and gearbox and while I’m waiting for the motor/diff mount I’ve started the conversion.

Photo 1: Small modification to create room for the motor just behind the receiver box. I also made an aluminum plate over the steering servo to mount the ESC on top of it.

Photo 2: Aluminum U-shape battery tray. I couldn’t make up my mind if I wanted to use a single or a dual Lipo pack so I decided to make a battery tray which can accommodate both. The battery tray isn’t mounted on the chassis yet because I want to do it after I’ve mounted the motor/diff mount.

I also replaced the shock towers with GPM alu ones and mounted some stiffer springs. Hoping I will not face shock caps popping off.

Does somebody has experience with the GPM Racing Hard Steel Anti-Roll Bar? I think it might improve the handling.

Hi there. This is an awesome thread! I myself have a MGT 4.6 that I would like to convert. Does anyone happen to know what the part number is on the RC8 center diff is? Im wanting to order one up on Ebay.

Thanks

I know I'm a few years behind on this one...

Please can anyone advise if the original RC8 centre diff is replaceable /compatible with any of the following diff versions?:

*RC8B3 / RC8T3 V2 Center Diff Nitro - AS81358

*RC8B3.2e / RC8B3e / RC8B3.1 Centre Diff - ASC80940

Are they all the some size... Bearing to bearing width?

Many thanks,
James
