While I was rebuilding this front axle I decided to take some pics to show more of it. I was a bit surprised when I saw that the tube was sealed even when it was cut for a JR servo. Nice thinking on making the tubes a smaller inner diameter Bryan!     When it came down to installing my RCBro lightweight locker I had come to screeching halt. The guy who I bought these axles from had used red loctite on the locker screws. I had enough parts to build another locker so I decided to just keep the stock locker as a spare. Here comes another screeching halt. No 3x3 countersunks!  I knew that the LHS didnt have any because I looked the other day and I don't have time to order any for this weekends comp so I made some out of some longer 3mm countersunks. Jeepcj578 showed me this little trick and it works great. 3x9 screw  with a 2mm nut  Lock it in a vice and get to hacking. I used a dremel. You will have to do a little fine grinding to get your cut smooth.  yahtzee!    Last edited by helhedded; 01-13-2011 at 07:43 AM. |

Here are the finished pics. All of the custom stickers are from Bowtie. (grill -headlights- tailights- name- rc chop shop) There will always be a 86jeep sticker on my rig as long as I don't run out of stickers       Last edited by helhedded; 01-14-2011 at 08:05 AM. |
