how much did u pay per rod end? those look like $30 each

shortbusjeep · 11-28-2005, 04:24 PM

no they were like 3.50, 60645K12 from http://www.mcmaster.com/

ok well i fitted my tmaxx tranny to hold an electric motor and work well for crawling, and stuck it in, as you can see i lost a little clearence with the way i mounted it, but the narrower width let me lower the battery a little,

my lsts are in some wd40 so i threw on some standard maxx, so i will gain a little bit of gc back,

maxx angle of tilt

flex shot

a trip to the lhs and i will equip 4ws and get a bigger pinion gaer so it will run.

sorry for the cluttered pics

The problem I see is that your Captain Morgan's bottle is way too full.

JohnRobHolmes · 11-30-2005, 05:38 PM

and your pop tarts are empty.

whats the vehicle in the background?

shortbusjeep · 11-30-2005, 05:56 PM

its a bandit, set up to take 12mm hex with tlt tires on it right now, i just got my tlt so i took my off road tires off that and switched them, im actually gonna sell it soon.

tyler.

So it takes 1/3 of a fifth of Captain Morgans to come up with new stuff?

r34zman · 11-30-2005, 08:52 PM

You see he got stoned then came up with the idea and had the munches so now the poptarts are gone. Did you remove the 2 speed part of the tmaxx tranny? Also did you remove the reversing part?

flexntj2001 · 11-30-2005, 09:30 PM

Hey, how about a close up of how you mated up the tmaxx tranny with the motor plate (motor mount)?

A few pics of that would be nice. If you don't mind that is?!?

Thanks

2/3 of a fifth sometimes equals no pants :-P

Interesting design, shortbusjeep.

shortbusjeep · 12-01-2005, 10:27 AM

well it is a careful balance of captian(the dark is better but you gotta use what ya got), and pop tarts, and well ya, so... yes the 2speed and reverseing are out, i was gonna try to somehow make it so i could disengauge the rear driveshaft, but after opening up the tranny i see it is a solid shaft so it would take a lot more captain to figure that out. here are some closeups of the trany mount, pretty simple,

it is just on the two angle alum pieaces like it is mounted stock with the stock plastic and the skid plate i had, i think your gonna need a pretty strong skid plate to keep the stress of the tranny mount,

wow sorry for the blurry pics hope it helps though
