| BWD Beast Build
Started a new build. BWD Beast Chassis AR60 Axles out of a Poison Spyder kit HR tetal trans 170mm links all around Savage shocks all around for now I'm trying to figure out a driveshaft solution. I would like to use MIP but I'm not sure if they make any driveshafts long enough. Distance between pin hole to pin hole is 6" full compressed and 6.5" at full droop. Anyone have an idea of how long the yeti driveshaft kit is? |

Traxxas Tmaxx shafts are always a good option..light and strong and long! |

Supershafty do offer extended length driveshafts and extended outputs. Looking forward to this build as I have the beast chassis and waiting for my Freesysle RC axles to arrive, hopefully this Monday. Been a real long wait for the axles.

| Re: BWD Beast Build Installed some hot racing 6mm offset 17mm hubs. Sorry for the terrible pic. More pics to come tonight! Has anyone had any experience with RC4WD punisher shafts? Im considering them over mip's because they will be around half the cost. Last edited by Lanky; 10-13-2016 at 10:22 AM. |

Gave up on the big wheels/ Tires.... Spent countless hours on this this weekend, made what seems 1,000 changes and little tweaks. I think the goal has been Achieved 1/2 monster 1/2 Crawler. I am absolutely amazed at this trucks performance. Crawls nice and smooth, no cogging. I'm floored that a truck with this wheel base gets, can get up and over obsticles that it did this AM. Truck is just right as far as speed on 3s. Decided to Leave the body tall in case I did decied to switch to a Monster truck tire. |

Been swapping some monster truck parts around recently, decided to give the Beast a rebirth.... Scored a new set of SMT axles from one of my SMT's, threw on Vanquish Scale C Hubs, Lockers front and Rear, Underdrive HD gears front and rear.... Grabbed a set of brawlers from the LHS, mounted up some Clod tires and walaaa! Pure fun! Best part is, It just wont break. 3s it is completely out of control, been thinking about picking up some swaybars for it. Last edited by Lanky; 05-06-2017 at 10:48 AM. |
