I had the rest of the diff parts so i decided to go and finish building the diff cases. Here is a picture of the XSS diff cup so you can see all the parts that come with it.

I pic of the inside with the spider gears installed.

An assembled pic of the diff cup assembly with HD out drives.

You can also buy this assembly for around 40 dollars from tower part number 86826 (I had 2 complete diff assemblies i just upgraded them to this version)

These pic's are the complete diff housing assembly.

Then there were two.

Note I removed the purple from the lower hinge pin braces. I used Greased Lightning, let the parts soak for a couple of minutes rinse them off with water and no more purple. Not sure what Greased Lighting is here is a link http://www.greased-lightning.com/products/Products.aspx?ProductId=1

Don't touch that dail more to come after this comercial break.

 

[[hs] darkshine]

i rekon the mid tank was a secret project made by someone......:motorcycle:

 

[X25]

those diffs look sweet. can't wait till you get more of the truck done

 

[Jt]

Got some new parts today and got the transmission all set.

Hitec - Servo (steering)

(in hand LHS) part number HS-5645MG

HPI - Dog Bones and Stub Axles

(ebay) part numbers 86134 dog bones 86065 stub axles

HPI - Brake Hub

(ebay) part number 86318

Now on to the transmission, I took the carbon fiber brake disc and sealed the outer edge with CA glue as recommended by Phil and Brian (thanks guys). I took off the spur gear and the dual disc brakes that came with the tranny, and installed the new HPI brake hub on to a stock black drive cup that I had here, the carbn disc fits like a glove on the HPI brake hub. Installed a new spur gear of a different tooth, now the tranny is complete.
here is a pic of the transmission with the new brake disc installed.

More to come soon. 😉

(Nova) part number Hpi Savage

[Jt]

i agree with HS when are you going to start the tank JT

Well I have to wait for the TVP's to finished up and sent to me, before I do anything with the tank. By the looks of things I should have just about everything else done up when the TVP's do finally show, so when they arrive it will only be a short time for completion.

Sorry guys just going to have to wait and see what happens.:nutshot:

For those who want to chime in give me some ideas on what you would like to see. Mid tank or not, and if you want mid tank what tank would you like to see?

 

[Jeremy]

jt u know what u want just do what u do best bud

 

[[hs] darkshine]

i'd like to see a special mid-tank and throttle mod (i'm guessin youre doing them anyways!!)

 

[X25]

have you decided on what engine you are going to run? if not i like my 4.6HO it's got some balls easy to tune and easy starts one or two pulls and it fires right up.

 

[[hs] darkshine]

that nova mount is quite sexy...🙂

I think I'm down to the STS .28 or the Axial .28

that nova mount is quite sexy...🙂

These is the first I have seen one in person and looks well machined and clean, should look good on the truck. 😉

 

[[hs] darkshine]

it looks really well made.

 

[Jt]

Yeah it is, very clean lines, no burrs, and a nice polish finish.
