oh and one more thing, if any one is wondering how much hell i plan on putting this thing through, here's a hint, 6s and we gonna see how high this son of a bitch can go! then we'll talk about how durable it is. i promised rick some solid feed back, so how can i be honest about it if i don't give er hell!!!!!!:twisted:

I think im going to go the same route as you since i already have some of the parts, Like the t8 maybe since we both live in tn, We may have to have a heck of a bash and i have the most amazing spot ever.

drive shaft clearance pics. where the twin axles have the pinion turned upward it interfered with my upper links some. so to fix this i drilled new holes for the trans and moved the outputs closer to the center. i could have turned the pinions back down but i think im gonna put some high clearance links on it soon, so i wanted to keep the drive shafts where they were.

well here is the finished pics. now for the embarrassing part, i took it out to our lake crawling spot last weekend and forgot the camera:oops:. it needs some fine tuning but not much and it actually held up fine. i need to do some mock up with the t8 motor for my blower buggy then im putting it in here and that's when the video will be shot. i will get some more pics the next time im out on the rocks but until then here it is.

now for a little sneak peak, cant say much but keep an eye out for these 8mm out puts from www.supershafty.com i do think the production run will only have 3 screws holding the out puts on the gear, but all i can say is beef!

It looks great with the body panels on .."thumbsup"

However
I would mount the panels on the inside so the chassis is seen
but that's just my opinion :mrgreen:


Can't wait to see this thing blast around :ror:

Question for you on these shafts. Are they the 3908 E-Maxx 3.3 T shafts or the 5309 Traxxas Nitro Revo 3.3 shafts? Was drilling out to fit needed?
I need to upgrade so thanks for the help.
