I was at work so I didn't get pics, but I was getting paid.
Next time I take it apart, I will get some pics.

1- 3/8 Galvanized (SP?) nipple I believe I cut it to 2"
2- 1/4X1/8 Reducer
1- screw Don't remember the size. Its big enough to thread into the shaft and then I used a dremel to grind the threads off the other half so it would slide in and out of the opposite side.
1- pin. Again, dint know what size. It came out of an old 1/8 scale buggy.
1- female shaft that was cut to go inside the nipple.

You guys are getting excited about all these nipples aren't you.

2- male shafts cut so they don't bind when flexing.

I will get pics and measurements when I take it apart.

MAN

that is super sweet!

[Rockcrawler]

Thanks.

Got to go over to RXCrawlers house today and test it on the rocks. Worked awsome. Every now and then I would have to kick it in and back out but just a few times. I didnt realize how much of a differance it makes having dig. Now I got to get a radio with a 3 position so I can have free wheel too.

That is a really nice setup . I will be waiting patiently for the how to write up with pics

Good luck with the preg wife and new little one.

[str8bucs]

Took a 3/8" Galv. nipple and cut it to about 2". Then I took 2 1/4" X 1/8 bushings and cut them so that there only about 1/4' long. Tapped the nipple for the bushings. There is a piece of female shaft inside the nipple. Then just welded a piece of steel on the outside for the arm to mount. I promise I will take it apart and get some pics when I get back.

Great work, and congrats

[toy4crawlin]

nice job on keeping Clean looking


So did you just use the galvanized peice as a cover and the female shaft sits inside and between those Hexes, so that it can rotate but still slide


read your instruction but rather confusing not knowing what the parts look like
Ya gota have the pics of the Details

Working on different style of dig myself

She was here and helps set-up for couch crawling. She will have one in the next month or 2.

Here is the build thread you guys wanted.

Dig build thread.

Idk, makes me think I might have a stab at building a dig setup, looks like it works a+.

[ussprinceton2004]

excellent video, looks like it works very well

[O.C.D.]

At first I was laughing as this video because of the "couch crawling" that has become prevalent. But,...... that is a perfect example of a dig and the effectiveness that it can offer. That setup seems to work well for people.
