Very clever use of the upper 4 link mount on the center axle!

| Thanks. You just need 2 axle housing halves that have the pinion output in them. Grind the lips off of the perimeter of both halves and screw them together like a standard axle. |

Nice rig...what parts did you use to Extend the honcho bed? I have a Honcho truggy bed but stuck on what I could use to extend it with...(it's being mounted up to a Dodge Ram hardbody regular cab) I need it about 3" longer to work with my Dodge body.

I just used a second Honcho cage and cut the side rails that the Lexan bed attaches to as needed. I used our long M3 set screws to attach the 2 cage halves. I am going to machine Delrin spreaders for the top of the cage, which will replace the aluminum links I have in place now. I used 1/4" aluminum rod to connect the bottom of the cages, and painted them black to match, that is what the battery box is zip tied too. Hope that makes sense. | |

VERY creative thinking,especialy on the center axle and rear suspesion. Any thoughts of making the rear axles steering axles so it could turn sharper? |

I didn't add 4 wheel steer mostly just to keep the build simple. Plus, I may be adding a few more features like a winch, dig, and lights that I can turn on remotely. so, I may run out of channels. | |
