|  low bucks 6x6 vacation build
i had no clue or direction when i started this thing.i didnt even plan to build it, just happen to come across a set of axial axles cheap a few days before my vacation. i got the axles last tuesday and started building   then tore done my ax10 i hardly ever run.laid everything out and bent up some 3/8's square tube,and made some shock hoops out of 3/16th brake line    built a 4 line truss for the rear axle   ended up wasting a day and a half and a tank of gas running around looking for a body. then a internet search netted me some pics of 6x6 land rovers. so i cut a dingo body in half  a lack of styrene skills lead to a steel/tube flat bed truggy kinda mix   flex shots    i still have to figure out bumpers and some mounts for the cab. i got a dual motor mount on the way for this pig. gonna run dual 55's in it. the rest of the electronics are a sidewinder esc,hobbyking HV mg servo and a single integy 65t(some to be replaced) and a old futaba 2pl i had on the ax10. so far iv managed to stay under $200 bucks |

2 pinion sides from the axles. got to shave a lip off em,then bolt em together. the output pinion spins back wards,so you'll have to flip the rear axle upside down so it will turn wheels the right direction
