[QUOTE=Szczerba;4543044 I am kind of skeptical of the two pass though setup but I'll go with it and test if before I decide.[/QUOTE] just curious what your concerns are? |

| Re: Szczerba's Tow Rig
On my HEMTT I am running an original emaxx 2-speed trans and an axial trans as a transfer case. I have a single 35t motor powering it until I pick up the motors I will use and with the gearing it has now there is plenty of grunt. The trucks not finished yet so I don't think it weighs 20-lbs but it is already the heftiest truck in my fleet and with the single motor it will crawl right up my carpet covered basement steps. I'm also have no issue with the pass through axles as of yet but mine are in a different configuration although I don't think it would make a difference.

I have a build thread. I've made a little bit of progress but haven't taken any pics. Mostly just trying to all the bugs worked out of the drivetrain and suspension before finishing up the cab and building an engine cover. 8x8 HEMTT project My axles are all stock internals so with the gearing change of yours I'm sure you won't have any issues. I'm not sure what the gearing is on the emaxx two speed so I don't know what my final drive ratio is. |

| Re: Szczerba's Tow Rig I've been missing having a multi-axled rig every since you bought my old K2-6 rig a few years ago. Watching this thread isn't helping anything.  I still have those 2.2 converted Hummer wheels and narrowed Flat Irons to put onto something. |

The CXT body I got was in rough shape so I started mending it last night enough to where its back to one piece. There is still work to be done on it. The axle mock up i have is not going to work with this body at full length, so I have some options. 1. Extend the front axle out about 2-3" 2. Chop the body down to a single cab like my other CXT and shorten the wheelbase up a touch. Tips, comments, suggestions?     Sent from my computer-phone. | |

I plan on using a bulletproof AX10 trans but that may change. I am guessing close to the 20lbs-25lbs range after it's built. I will try to save weight where I can. All 4 axles will have underdrive gears in them. Wraith axle up front and three widened AX10 axles out back. Rearmost axle will be a steer axle as well.
