You can build off parts from SS.com, or you can buy a complete assembled axle too  Stock or fully modded to your specs.Having TF/MF axles and having all the internals 1/8 buggy is a huge advantage. Parts are available at any hobby shop. Other than the housings of course. But they are for the most part bullet proof  |

Some progress with pics. I sloped the windshield back a touch compared to the 1:1 rig. Just looks better I think.     Hood off  and to give a scale comparison, cause this thing is good sized   Last edited by Bart bender; 04-19-2011 at 04:15 PM. |

Aww, come on! I don't have any Killians bottles around. I took them all in. Plus Miller Lite dosn't have GHT in it so it's better for you  Thank for the props though, I guess |

Holy schnikies!!! I better get my ars in gear an get something put together. Seems I'm WAY behind the game here now. One thing I just noticed, not sure how or if, well it will affect it, it will be right or it won't. Should check the ratation of the motor as it is sitting 180* compared to a buggy/truggy. Better to find it now an fix then later when it's done.

Actually I can't flip the axles due to the mid diff being bias to that side. I will just flip the diffs in the housings though |

so are you gonna experiement with some gear ratios in your axles eventually, too? i would assume that with these being buggy based diffs, that would not be a difficult thing to do.

 Sorry brain fart. Been a long week already Anyway got some more done, and got a box 'o' parts in the mail too. I need a longer rear shaft to get the 18" wheelbase I'm shooting for. May just have to lengthen it out myself Let me no what you think about the down tubes on the front. They are just tacked on so they can come off easy.

But thats for going slow on the rocks so cant say for the FOFF..... Don't know if you really need those "Drop Down" tubes Maybe small ones (maybe inch long) from the lower part of the windshield frame at an angle to the hood rail Either way looking good Regards V8 | |

I really don't need them. They were more for looks than anything. The EB I posted a couple of pages back looked so tits with the down tubes. I don't think they are working for me on this rig.

So, Morten, you saying I should keep them? I think I'm gonna drop them to the rear base of the shock towers and see what they look like. I'm still not sold on them looks wise.
