I got a little more done on the axles. I got to spend some time programming and setting up the wire EDM machine at school and got the main shape of the front mount plate cut out. then I ran my MasterCAM program for the center hole and the bolt circle. The outer housing was hand cut then bent and brazed.        |

I finally got the rear axle mostly done. It just needs the cover brazed on and the mounts made up for the links. The shaft is solid 8mm stainless (not sure what grade) so I don't think Ill have any problems with that. Its set up for 17mm buggy hexes at the moment. I also made the spool out of some 1" stainless bar stock since the traxxas spools wouldn't accommodate my massive shaft on to the goods    and it next to a little baby tlt axle  |

Those are turning out awesome! What center section are you running on those? What track width are you going for on those? Keep it up! |

Once you get the cover brazed on will you still be able to take it apart for servicing? I see that the slots for the ring and pinion shaft dont line up when the axle is installed. How do you get at the grub screw to remove the axles?

lol I actually came up with a cool solution for that. I drilled a hole in the cover and brazed a nut on the inside so I can put a small bolt on the cover that looks like the filler hole plug. the hole is big enough to slide the pin through. I already tested it and it work pretty good, but hopefully the only service ill ever need is some lube |
