Pretty awesome build man. Next time your taking pics, can you show some more detail on the transmission and divorced rear axle set up?

Hey thanks man, it’s been a fun build.
Yea man absolutely, sorry for the crappy pics in the last post. I had a lot to do and was rushing through it.

Here’s some better pics, the case and all the carrier parts are available on thingiverse if you have access to a printer. Otherwise the guys company is MOFO Rc.

Oooooh, see I had the wrong idea, I thought there was some kind of transfer case between the rear axles, but that didn't sound right. This makes much more sense lol.

Just for clarification, are these the files you're referring to?

I've been thinking about trying to build a dual output power wagon 6x6 using SSD Pro44s for more or RC4WD K44s. I got lost looking at semi truck carrier bearings, never got to looking into a dual output transmission.

Yea it basically adds a second output gear set. He has some of the parts listed to make the thing work but I can create a full list when I get some time later.
Yea it’s listed as the big boy 6x6 transmission
Smc, that would be a sweet build. I love the pro44’s I built a set and didn’t get a chance to run them before I sold them off but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.

Thanks. I searched MofoRC on thingiverse and a few results came up so I wanted to make sure. I don't have a ton of run time on my Trail King yet but so far I'm loving them as well, as well as the TK shocks. If I ever (finances permitting) get around to that build I might run TK shocks instead of GTS shocks.

This thing is a killer.. all the changes I made were great. Enjoy some pics and I’ll be uploading a video to the scale video section shortly.

Well This thing got CI dual stage foams. Went with the 4.25 soft outer comp cut, they might be slightly too soft but 4.5’s are impossible to find right now. I got to run it a little today and they feel pretty good. Not the best test but looking forward to running it some more

Well my favorite spots back open, a few days ahead of schedule. I spent at least a solid hour running this thing, making some insane lines look easy.
I’ll just leave this here, it’s lengthy but there’s some good shots.

Big things coming for this thing soon, stay tuned. Might be a few weeks but things are brewing

I'm kind of excited to see what you've got coming. I really like what you're done with that truck.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. This thing is a blast to drive, and there isn’t much it won’t do.
The plan is to do an ar45p swap and possibly add dravtech shorts. I’ve also got 4.5 lil nova foams coming to hopefully give the tire some more support.

Well here’s where we stand... ar45p axles installed, brass links modified, dlux dravtech shorts built and installed. The chassis is going to need a little rework to clear links and the lay down servo, but nothing crazy. This thing is going to be a killer

Thanks man, I went with a mild overdrive up front like 24%. Ended up building my second rear axle with yeah racing shafts gpm stub shafts fast Eddie bearings and ssd gears. Couldn’t believe what it was going to cost to build one with all axial parts.
I’m probably going to borrow my new v3‘s servo mount so I can make sure everything is going to work out. May even drive it tonight

Well I did, I robbed the lay down mount from my v3 I haven’t even driven yet to finish this build.
I ended up having to flip the trans and skid to get my driveline angles right. One nice part about this trans case for sure. I also did some more shimming and think I got all the slop out of it. The speed is still decent, we will have to see how it goes when I actually test it on the rocks. I’ve got my eye on some gears anyways.
All that’s left is to shim the reversing carrier until my transfer case shows up, swap out the foams for the 4.5 lil novas and mount the body back up.
I can’t wait to get out and test this thing.

At this point I think it’s finally done for a while. Other than maybe a body swap but I have no clue where I would even go with that. I hate to destroy the Umg body since apparently they’re non-existent any more.

Lookin good man! Yeah first thing I had to do was flip the trans.
Nice that it was an easy thing to do.

Haha, no kidding. This is the way it should have been made to begin with!

Looks great man.
