Finally finished all the pieces that I needed for my dig setup. Here's some pics.

This is just a general picture of it. It also shows the female shaft that is free to spin.


This is a picture of the rear and the female shaft that acts as the brake.

What no installed pics? So I take it that one end is locked in place for the brake and the other end is free spining but capped in place to hold it in the outer tube for the drive connect side with some kind of spacer in between them? Please explain?

You got it exactly right. The tube actually started out as a solid piece of delrin rod. The spacer in the center is actually material left from not drilling all the way through so the female shaft can fit in and the reason there are no installed pics is because my truck is in pieces right now.

Yea i wanna see it set up in youre crawler too.

The other day i did the diggs mod to a sw2 crawler with max shafts, mounted the servo on the rear axle and turned the linkage around due to the motor on the left side of the chassis i think this style should work on almost any chassis setup.

Pics of this style should be up in a few days i hope

I don't get my axle cases until later today or tommorow. So I won't be able to get my truck back together until then.

Ok so I made a list of parts that I think I need to get this done....

2 male driveline ends
1 female driveline end
1 piece of rod "inside male driveline ends" or all thread
a variety of shock spacers
some JB weld
some CA glue
some small screws
and some sort of material to conect the shock spacer to the brake.....small metal chanel or something.

Anything else I might need.......please feel free to let me know.

A few more things i use

.125x.250 .020wall brass to connect the slipper to the brake then use the dremel to cut a slot in it

440 allthread and nuts for the lever

a max shock end for the lever pivot

.045 machine screws

micro drill bits and a pin vise

i use the metal ring in the tlt kit to clamp the max shock spacer around the driveline while the glue drys

Heres a few pics of front diggs setup on benders sw2 chassis with max shafts, the dig linkage had to go on the same side as the motor to clear the 4-link the servo is on the axle.
This style should work on any style chassis
