Yes, I know what you mean and they are on the TODO-list already. Just need to get the truck in full working condition first before making any extra parts.

Went for a quick 15min testrun to a local school's backyard, here are a couple photos.

You can see the Axial tranny from here, there's about 10mm space between body and spurgear.




Rest of the photos here.

Some updates...

I ordered a new driveshaft from Junfac, now they're both Junfac's.



With the driveshaft I ordered new shocks, because the RC4WD shocks just kept getting stuck more and more. So here they are, Junfac TS02 airshocks.


A couple driving photos (probably total 5-10 minutes driving and a lot more time spent on finding & fixing the tranny-t-box shaft)...






First... Trying to get over a small rock.


Second... A very small stick got hang up to the truck (usually a truck would just drive over them).


That was the last driveshaft there. I need to order something better before I can drive the truck again. Sucks!

In the meanwhile I bought a couple Holmes Hobbies 35T motors from a friend and also got 16T pinion from LiquidRC (it used to be 15T).


A couple "flex shots"...



Edit... Almost forgot. I think the truck sits too high. What do you think?
