|  New Project Begins!!! (UPDATED...FINISHED W/ ACTION PICS!!!)
Here's the werd: I'm using locked emaxx centersections with X-Factor axle shafts and knuckles. I will be using maxx wheel adapters and some aluminum rims. These axles will be going under a rockraider chassis(soon as I get an e-mail fom em) with savage shocks and emaxx tranny. Axles will be 4-linked, links will be made out of 3/8 aluminum with 3/16 bore x 10/32 heims. Tires will probably be the lst's or the ones off of the Raptor. So heres some pics. Axles:    Body:   Last edited by Vu14TJ; 02-11-2005 at 05:49 PM. Reason: UPDATED ....FINISHED WITH ACTION PICS!!! |

Sounds pretty sweet. Just curious.....is it just me, or are your axle tubes kinda jacked up? I mean, they don't look straight. *shrug* Good luck with it, man. DW |

DreamWeaver, yeh the axles tubes look crooked in the pics, must just be the pic, they are straight. They axles are 13" wide. Well as far as the body until I find something else this will do, with a new paintjob of course.

This is is a heavy beotch. But it crawls awesome cause all the weight is so low. It's very stable. I probably have about 8 packs through it so after this weekend I'll give some more imput on its performance.

I like how you did your rod mounts on the chassis. Whats your clearance under diffs?

Jason- Yeh the tranny has all metal insides. If it breaks, oh well I'll put in an emaxx tranny. Adam- I have had that body forever actually probably like 3 years now. Finally figured out something to use it for. |

Carnage report: 1 revo driveshaft 1 X-factor axle shaft I ripped the ears right off of the revo shaft, and the x-factor shaft broke right at the end near the dogbone.Sorry no pics of either didnt have my camera with me today. Willyrocket - I have 3" under the diffs and 5" under center. This thing crawls awesome! I need to put my 1/4 scale servos on and adjust the rear steer linkage, then it should be done for a while. And I have to finish grooving the other three kongs. |
