mfm widow build

[flip2spin23]

ok i got a lot done so far but in waiting on a dna dig and trying to figure out what im going to do about my driveshaft problems.

[Dr. Thunder]

Looking killer!!

[O.C.D.]

I know about your "problems" with the driveshafts. I built mine and was shocked at the issue. I ordered new axials and only had to trim about 1/2" of off the rear shaft. I still need to do the maxx mod but that is another story. Other than drilling new holes, I do not see how to mount the tranny where it is without the dig.

i like where the trany is. i know i can cut down stock shafts. but i broke a million of thoes before.i know people are using stampede shafts but im still searching around trying to figure out exactaly what people are buying and

[Atchley]

Whose sweet DMG chassis is that in the background? Is that a pimptacular cr-01 I see too?

[flip2spin23]

there mine you just gave them to me thanks ol'buddy

[Atchley]

I did? When? You need to remind of this stuff. Your just mad cause im a better driver than you

[montana.matt]

Stampede shafts work good. That's what I have on my MFM. I did have to trim a little off the front driveshaft (male end).

I ended up moving the trans on mine just a bit for two reasons...one was to more even out the driveshaft lengths...and at the same time get the Puller to fit. I'm running CDW 6mm trans outputs on mine, and have a Maxx shaft on one end and a Revo shaft on the other. Only used the Maxx shaft because the Revo was big enough in diameter that it hit the top edge of the skid at full droop.

[bigflex]

alot of guys arround here run punishers. they work really well and you should be able to order one in the length you need. Nice setup BTW.

I ended up ordering another skidplate with the trans mount holes drilled centered.I have about 1/4" clearance between the brushed motor endbell & chassis. Both driveshafts are equal as well. Seems to work great,no issues now.

[Harvo]

I redrilled my skid because I got the F/T dig, which is on the wrong side of the tranny for ths chassis. I'm using Maxx shaft in the rear and MIP in front.

[treday619]

Thunder Tech carries the MIP Shafts with one shorter if you run dig.

ok i finally got my dna dig monday thanks rcp for giving me shaft. now i need a 3ch radio, can i get a 3pm to work with my dig, and one more question how are you guys putting the fuel tubing on the top of the losi shocks :-(

[Harvo]

I gave up on trying to get my 3PM to do 3 positions. I don't have freewheel, but I don't miss it. Your radio will work easily to get 2 positions out of your dig. The third will be tough.

[flip2spin23]

im probally looking at getting a 3pm

[Harvo]

For the price, you will enjoy it. It has lots of high dollar features.

Here is how I did my widow. 20mm screw held by Tamiya nut. then slide on a small plastic washer (Traxxas shock rebuild kit) then fuel tubing slide the shock over and another plastic washer followed by a nylock.
