You may want some slop somewhere or a slipper clutch..... Trust me I know.

LOL ! If anyone knows it would be you at this point. Actually I do have a slipper for that exact reason. Because you are absolutly right something will need to give somewhere.

Did you ever decide on bearings ? And what type ? I could not believe on the cost on the Avid .

With the OD Diff gears fitted does it help in running faster...

I'm going to be testing a couple different brands, I've got FastEddy in it now, picked up some, HPI, I have some Traxxas, and a friend gave me some high $ swiss ones from the aircraft industry.

Besure to keep us updated what is holding up. I am quite sure I will be headed down this road hopefully soon.

Second on my agenda :

I received my Spur gear cover today that was donated by a very generous man for Christmas . He even sent me a cool sticker ! Thank you again Drail !

I have installed these gears in both of my crawlers ( OD / UD ) I am unclear on the clips.

Yours are on the way. I threw in some extra goodies for you also

These things are like nice jewelry, to bad they are hidden away where no one can admire them. Thank you Highlandcrawler !

Actually I have had a idea for quite sometime. It will be a little while still till it becomes a reality. I am on the books with Rockthrasher in Febuary. So it will be a while.

I took a measurement for you Walter, I never checked it until you asked . It appears to be sitting right at 10 1/2 ". The tapered body really makes it look wider don't you think.

Now Calvin, I still need the lockers from Highlandcrawler to do the assembly of the axles. Also I still need a receiver for it. I know which one I want. I just keep putting money into other parts first.
I have to admit to everyone I tend to enjoy the building process more than anything.

If you weren't pulling my chain, I would not think you liked me anymore. I am looking for a paticular Futaba receiver the R2106gf, it is nice and small (They are on Ebay). I want to get everything into the electronics box out back.

OUCH ! I hate when I measure twice and cut once and still mess it up ! That Orange is pretty though. Well from my experience with the dig servo is not big torque. But, a hit in a fall might be a minor problem.

[Crawling Calvin]

Yeah oh well! It works for proto work I will work on a more "impressive" one later. I am waiting on a spacer block for my mill so I can make rims. Having 2.25"
of throat distance and trying to machine a chuck 3" away doesn't go to pretty

Traxxas - Velineon 380 Motor (#3371) - Overview | traxxas.com
