Mojave 4s Center Diff installation in 3s Models!!!

[@DOFIXERR]

Finally a side-by-side size comparison. I knew you'd come thru brotha!

[@DoRC]

Interesting that you were able to make it fit without elongating the chassis slot. I has to elongate mine to make it install correctly.

[@ReadySetRC]

Off-road, that center diff, best mod Arrma has come out with💪 Great tutorial!

[@ralphhondaman]

If you are not racing it then you are just putting money into it for no reason just to say you have it and done it.

[@ReadySetRC]

@@ralphhondaman That's what's great about this hobby everybody can do what's best for them, right?

[@ralphhondaman]

@ReadySetRC that's true and it's cool to see it fits but videos like this misguid people because they see it and think they need it with no explanation on it. Just yup it fits.

[@ralphhondaman]

@ReadySetRC just sucks most KZbin channels that pop up for me are just people who throw parts at stuff with no knowledge for the hobby. No body teaches things. I don't take this serious it's a hobby. But if people are learning off me I'm going to do some more explaining on what it does.

[@JayTeeRC]

Thanks! 👍

[@patmarcus172]

I have done this on my Big Rock as I was sick of breaking slippers (even 7075 ones), slippers repeatedly loosening or having to crank slippers so hard I then broke driveshafts. All that pain has now gone with the centre diff. If Im honest the handling upgrade is minor. Im just glad the pain is over and it was a very very easy install. As shown the two additional holes on the chassis base are just where you need them - as if theyve been planning this for years. You just need to carefully use a countersink drillbit on them to then enable you to then use a countersink hex that will sit flat with the chassis.

[@geraldlebeau6973]

Can you use a 4s in it if you change esc

[@JIPPERR_1]

Great to see this diff will fit on the 3s chassis 👍 To bad the arrma rumor mill turned this topic inside out on the forum's, just a lot of excitement for this mod. Great work Jay T, I was waiting for someone to get both cars on the bench and try this for sure. 👍👍

[@lowridr2]

4s Mojave seems like the perfect size gonna be fun to get it all upgraded and on 6s

[@K5_RC]

It is! I've had more fun with mine than any other RC I've had!

[@MrtipRC]

Well that will be my 1st upgrade on the Typhon

[@parkecorepersonaltrainingp2601]

What a great upgrade 🎉🎉

[@APinkFluffyDino]

Man i LOVE this shop. i gotta bring back by my scx24 jeep..... i may have added alot more to it LOL. but i need to know how yall do the 180's without flipping?! my senton ALWAYS flips.

[@goon_controlled]

So would that work going into an infraction 3s?

[@larrys4227]

Yes!!!

[@Rhone83s]

Them boys were going in on those cars.

[@drivenrc]

This would be a great idea for the Vendetta and Infraction 3s platform. Really all of them but especially the road cars.

[@ralphhondaman]

Maybe of you are doing road course. Straight line speed runs lock em up. Spool slipper eliminator.

[@rudymartin3558]

Do rc just put one in the 3s infraction go check it out

[@ralphhondaman]

@rudymartin3558 if you don't plan on speed running it I can see it to slide around. But speed runs you want it locked. The goal is not to over spin the front and that's what a center diff will do

[@Shadows-RC]

​@@ralphhondamanTrue. There's no debating that. But, I don't know why people don't find straight line speed runs to be boring. It is! Corner carving racing and bashing is much more fun. Plenty reason for Arrma to make their 3s line with at least an option for that center diff. I think they will. Probably the 3s version would be plastic cup or something. They'd be fools not to, as the Slash has the option. Some have actually chosen to invest in the slash over the senton for that very reason.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

There’s center clutch hater , I bet you ride a Honda semi automatic bike , jk 😂 I burn center diffs up sometimes too like you said pretty much locking it up anyway which same dam principles as slipper clutch ,

[@ninthislandrc]

Fantastic for those wanting to bash. However, since I'm seeing my Vendetta up as a speedrun car, I'll be replacing the stock slipper with a spool. Getting back to the center diff & transmission housing, with the center diff is the distance between the transmission case outdrive & front diff outdrive decreased (I'm assuming the answer is "yes")...and, if so, by how many mm?

[@Nobz619]

If you setting your vendetta as a speedrun car I highly recommend staying away from the spectrum ESCs. They cut out too much at the high speeds even with the 160a ESC. All you need is a 6s battery and a mamba monster X and you’re in the 100mph club

[@ninthislandrc]

For now, I'll be using the stock ESC & motor...but, have already replaced the servo (ProTek 160BL), and will be swapping out the Spektrum Rx with Futaba, FlySky, or Radiolink, for now. Once I'm in the 90-100mph range, I'll be swapping out the ESC/motor for Castle...and, once I exceed 125mph, I'll replace the Rx with a Crossfire Rx (MUCH greater range...as in 'miles', not 'meters'), connected through the Radiolink RC8X. Right now, the plan is to run it mostly stock. I have installed the aforementioned servo (with aluminum horn), plus a KaniZ RC center driveshaft, CF center brace, and a few CF parts (splitter, chassis wideners, rear wing stabilizer, etc). I will be adding compression limiters to the shocks, possibly adding internal extension limiters...plus, I'll start playing with shock oil thickness. Not sure about springs, and whether (or not) they'll need to be replaced with stiffer springs. First round of 'real' upgrades will include a center spool, steel Mod1 gears, and an aluminum trans housing. Second round will include 17mm hexes & foam tires, and front/rear diff modules w/ CNC machined ring & pinion gears (even though they are discontinued, I found a hobby shop on the East Coast still having a few), mounted inside Hot Racing aluminum yokes - front w/500K, rear w/125K. Not sure when I'll add each...but, I've also got the Perfect Pass unit, and a Futaba gyro, to install.

[@dandyer8351]

I noticed u didnt use the centre driveshaft bearing and mount. I think because the kv2400 motor will be too wide on the 3s platform ive just fitted this to my senton 3s and can cofirm the centre driveshaft bearing support is touching the motor thats with the 3s motor kv3200 but it all fits and is only just touching the side of the motor can.

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

Can ypu please see of the 4s axles fot the 3s senton? My 4s senton destroulys the stock 3s blx axles 😆

[@MRCG68]

thanks pale ! thats exactly waht we wana know :)

[@roadrunnerorange]

Just put the center diff in my typhon 3s. Bummed to see it overhangs into the battery tray😑

[@dandyer8351]

Be ok in the lwb models then ?

[@alantaylor353]

Interesting.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@Mark-yy2vw]

Arrma going to make alot of money selling all the parts to convert all them 3s rigs, including mine

[@JayTeeRC]

jennysrc

[@FrankvdBerg]

Its still open at the botom so dirt gets in. Thats the problem in the stock setup also. Its eating pinions because of that

[@wvlfkvnt]

Get a dirt cover, eliminates seizing of the bearing from dirt intrusion. Burnt through 4 slippers before the dust cover. No problems since.

[@bfam8056]

Great video man awsome

[@gillian9178]

Does it make the driving performance / experience much better over the slipper clutch ?

[@MrAlexsasax]

Yep but slipper may be better for bashing and speed runs. Center provide better handling and cornering wich is great for track.

[@dandyer8351]

​@@ralphhondamanthing is though its just a more solid design than the stock slipper unit no slipper screw comeing loose and the new caseing is alot better to stop rocks and dirt getting in plus u get metal spur gear. Ive just done it to my senton 3s. And think its worth it imo each to there own.

[@jah-jah87]

Dont you have to trim the chassis to accommodate the pinion that stick out? I just seen another KZbinr DO RC AND HE HAD TO TRIM HIS CHASSIS. PLEASE CONFIRM. HE STATED THAT THE MOTOR WILL SIT AT AN ANGLE OTHERWISE.

[@MichaelBriscoe-xe4yu]

So guys this 4s Mojave setup will also install the same into the arrma infraction 3s

[@goon_controlled]

Just asked the same question. I think it will

[@MitchellBolognaniRC]

Nice

[@JayTeeRC]

Thanks

[@gowerski]

no way. I'm sick of stripping spurs, so this will eliminate that?

[@gowerski]

so parts needed- different centre driveshaft, motor and the diff assembly?

[@ralphhondaman]

Ebay slipper eliminator for arrma senton. $30 drops right in and you can pick from many different spur gears and they are steel.

[@gowerski]

@ralphhondaman i bash hard with my granite at the skate park so i think i still need a bit of give in the system

[@tedshickell7315]

I’ve seen this done already 8 times before he done it

[@JayTeeRC]

🍪

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

I would say on the other 3s chassis, Vendetta, Infraction, Vorteks, you would have to trim chassis.

[@mattmaclearn263]

Other utubers have ground Down with a dremel in the center of chassis

[@JayTeeRC]

no need

[@ralphhondaman]

To me that's a pointless upgrade because you are not tuning the front or rear diff which most probably won't doing this mod. And the center diff is setup for the mojave. Fluid center diff is good for racing and thing else get a slipper eliminator. Lock it up front and rear. Save your money from this over priced mod. Best mod tune front and rear diffs. 50k front 30k rear or around there. Stops the front from ballooning.

[@anthonypowers]

There's more applications for a center diff, that's why all 6s and 8s cars from every brand come with them. They do an excellent job off-road due to all the uneven surfaces in which all the power can change from front to rear as needed. Not saying that for all 3s or 4s line cars that you need to do this. I think it's a good upgrade for powerful off-road rigs.

[@ralphhondaman]

@anthonypowers and every one I have like 6 I think and all the centers are locked. For bashing I don't feel like ballooning the fronts and I tune front and rear. And speed run cars you want them locked up.

[@ralphhondaman]

@anthonypowers and you're going to see guys do this swap which isn't the cheapest thing to do and put one million wt in and run it when they could spend idk around $30 and get a slipper eliminator with a steel gear and call it a day.

[@JIPPERR_1]

Kind of interesting thing about the arrma 3s slipper is that the front and back can slip different amounts. The front and rear outputs arn't locked together on a single shaft.

[@ralphhondaman]

@JIPPERR_RC that is true. But they don't slip that offen. If they did them disks would be done in one run. So a fluid filled diff is cool. But if you're bashing the truck then you're doing this mod to just do it. Which it's your money go for it. All I'm saying is save the cash and just by a slipper eliminator. I've done it all to my blx3 cars and never looked back.
