yep i found out about the center diff good news is it looks like a mini-t trans so I'm sure i can get it decently bullet proof i just need to find some paddle tires and yes they have hex wheels not sure of the size Last edited by alterchristopher; 04-17-2011 at 09:48 AM. |

I used to have one, yeah, the center diff was a pos. It doesn't use 12mm hex's, but I'm sure you can find some that'll fit, maybe the mini revo/slash. I think it has 10mm hex's. I'm not 100% on it though. On another note, it should be easy to stretch that chassis and find a dogbone from another company to fit the length. Now get to work! |

All 4 slingshot paddles and that body! That would be the bee's knee's (just caus I can't cuss) And the reason my mini lst loved to melt the center diff could have been the mamba in it..... Anyways, I'm subscribing! I really want to see this done!!! |

stock front and rear diffs are plastic ring and pinion if you can get the mini lst 2 diffs you shouldnt have nearly as much trouble. i used to replace diffs in one of my two mlst's at least once a week, i didnt have much trouble at all after the metal diffs. i think the MRC diffs may be the same
