I took and put a Axial tranny in mine with a DNA dig, and Pede drive shafts, works great, my PTI is not exactly stock anymore, Ialso have one with the gear reduction unit, it works well, if you go with another tranny you'll need to make new cross members to handle the width difference. |

I know this an old thread but I was playing around with this last night... if you use some axial outdrives in the pti trans you can then adapt the dig from an r2 to fit...nice and compact.

Nope... I did it while I was putting something else together and just happened the parts were all laying nearby on the table...kind of one of those wamo moments. It all went together with very little effort, the axial outdrives would need some trimming but nothing a dremel couldnt handle. You'll have to make your own standoffs for the dig unit because they dont come with the rebuild kit, I used brakeline and washers. You'll also need a guide plate, I didnt bother making one since I wasnt actually planning to leave it all together more than 5 mins. I do caution, Im not sure how well the plastic on the trans will hold up to the dig unit. | |

here is my dig ... well sort of . i am using some old 2.5 tmaxx drive shafts and cutting the hollow part from the u joint. then adding bb and gluing them to it. then with a third servo it will slide back and forth engaging and disengaging the driveline. here is the problem the rear will be free wheeling and not in dig engagement so i need to figure that part out here are the pics   and i am using the hpi tranny its like a perfect fitand the holes line up perfectly. the only thing i needed to do is add more weight to the front and rear tires  and a short vid if it climbing  |
