Default Front mounted Axial trans - where are the pics/threads?

I am looking for pics/threads of rigs that have front mounted motors using the axial ax10/scx10 gearbox. I know that there are tons of rigs that have front mounted motors/gearboxes, but I cannot find them, not through the search on the forum and not through the google. Could somebody post links to some builds that have them or some pics of how they were done?

And don't flame me, bro. I have tried to find what I am looking for and have failed, that's why I am asking.

Those don't really help. The first one was using an Axial tranny, but it wasn't using the SCX10 frame. The second was just a general discussion about transfer cases, mostly used with GRUs.

What I am looking for are rigs with SCX10 frames and front-mounted trannies. I have seen tons of them, but now that I am looking for them I cannot find any. And like I said before, searching is getting me nowhere, here and with Google. Seriously, if anyone has done this, please post a link here.

Hey you aren't the only one wondering where the threads/pics are. I've been trying to figure out if I can use my Axial tranny front mounted in my Douggy truggy.

SCX frame, front mounted trans...Nothing too mysterious or different than it would be if it was a custom frame.

Thanks Duuuuuuuude and War Pig. Those help. I think I'll be doing something a little bit different from your solutions. I'll post the results when it's complete.
