Maybe it's just me or the pics, but it sure looks small. How big is the final product going to be?

It's a start though I see the Mapp gas,but yet I see a little more than just "tack" welds. Are you planning on brazing it also to clean up the joints and to help fill in the burn holes?

well guess it's big enough. depends on your WB you want to run with. As far as axles, that is your call also. I have both a maxx and my son has a stick. The clod stall helps every once in awhile, but I wouldn't trade it for my shafty anyday. I like the extra diff clearance I have. For the most part, that stall ticks me off. I don't have as much as a controlled "slow" crawl as I do with my shafty.

your sleeve is detracting from the tuber

Looks like good begining to me. The front end will crumple as is, but I assume you are not done if it will be shafty.

Great work man! thats alot of fabing for 2 night, and I though I was fast biulding mine in 2 weeks, lol!

I think everybody is making there axles coming off of the Maxx diffs... I think the best design I've seen is by TwistedCreations... looks really sturdy and have a tun of diff clearance...

Later,
Jake
