| Axial Jeep Wrangler G6 - Renegade
A little about what I have planned for the new Axial Jeep Wrangler G6 kit. If you have seen my builds before you know I like the factory looking stuff for the most part. With this dovetailed newer body style rig, I want to go Retro. Bringing a mix of the Golden Eagle and Renegade jeep back. Overdrive gear up front, of course metal gears in tranny. Still up in the air about running a dig unit or not. Wanting to go Brushless. So watch for motor ESC combo. Will be running Mayhem Engineering Wheels. Trying a new set up on the steering I have never run before, but it seems to work. Stay tuned for the ride and we will see how it all turns out. http:// http:// http:// http:// |

For those of you who dont know about beef tubes, here is a simple run down. I like them because they keep your weight down low, where you need it most. They also make plastic axle housings stronger. Inexpensive alternative to aluminum axles. However they do not just drop right in. You have to clearance the inside of plastic housing. New plastic housing http:// http:// http:// A dremel tool and a sanding or grinding stone. http:// http:// |

Axial aluminum C hubs, knuckles and also using CVD's. They work for my driving style and I really need them for steering set up. If you look at pics you will see. YES I know knuckles are on backwards. Its because I am running and Austrian steering tuning kit. Its kind of like BTA, but not quite. Check it out.. I learned about this set up from Austrian Danile Siegl. http:// http:// This Kit is designed for high steer, but I am making do for right now. http:// http:// http:// http:// |

| Re: Axial Jeep Wrangler G6 - Renegade These are PLE Engineering or Sumquak here on RcC. These work with the stock axles. I used CVD's because of the steering set up I used. Beef tubes work with a bone stock set up. Nothing needed, except to clearance the inside of plastic housings. Hope this helps.

Hi, The steering setup is from an Austrian Company called "Trial and Fun". You might need to shave of the "leave" mounts a little bit if you run the adjustable C-Hubs. Cheers Daniel |

You could have just bought the AX80009 parts tree if you wanted an extra spur gear lockout, no need to waste even more money on a complete locked out tranny. | |

Little more progress today. Rpp Hobby already has these Wrangler G6 kits for sale and shipping tomorrow. I am still building, but I am on the body, part I really like about building. Axles done, Beef Tubes in front & rear with overdrive gear upfront. http:// Axial Ax10 locked out trans with Axial Metal Gear set. http:// Mayhem Engineering Monsters with TrailReady beadlocks, Crawler Innovations dualstage foams 4.50 and the Maxxis Trepadors. http:// |
