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 |
