I know there is a ton of info on TLT front digs butt for some reason the search comes up blank. How about a combined Dig thread in ths stckies somewhere. Im putting front dig into the new rig and just need good starting point

I have only seen 1 dig build on a TLT. Drop Fishmaxx a line I know he has one.

Most of the front digs I have seen are clod based.

Here's one build.
comp style tlt (GROUNDER) with front digg

Search the TLT forum for *front dig*, you'll get more builds.

Use the asterisk (sp.) on both sides of the search terms, like I typed in my first post. You should get better results.

I think this is prolly the best build with pics and comments to help you. Miniwheeler built me one and I have run it for 7 months, no problem's at all.

trost · 07-31-2006, 12:42 PM

mini wheeler made one!

miniwheeler · 07-31-2006, 12:45 PM

If you need some help with youre front dig pm me and i will try to help. The frond dig 101 writeup on the ORCRC site should be done in a few weeks if you are in no big hurry

I also have built a tlt stick and it should be no problem to do a front dig mod to it

rockwerks · 07-31-2006, 02:24 PM

a couple of weeks is a long time when Im trying to get it ready for moab..........Im gonna need all the practice and time I can get!

Ive actually started gathering parts.....im using a cable with stiff cptured metal rod ends on both sides to motivae the mechanism.......this will give me greater latitude on servo mounting.

(6" shutter release camera cable)

miniwheeler · 07-31-2006, 08:34 PM

Are you gonna do a brake with the dig setup? If so it might be hard to keep the brake assy. from turning when you apply it

Do you have pics of the chassis?

I cant quite figure out how your braking system works, you hvae not gotten that far on your 101 thread

. the way my chassis works the rear driveline is always in the same alignment as the axle and centerline of the chassis......(stick) So my bracket to hold the dig rig will be off the rear axle and braced from the center (stick)

I promised my partner no pics of the SNAKE chassis till we have finished development. and a bit of testing.....

miniwheeler · 08-01-2006, 10:41 PM

the brake was one of the first parts to be made on the thread the 1/2 inch section of driveline with the splines removed is where the brake rides when the rear drive is in when the rear is out the brake is in and linkage keeps it from turning and that locks the rear tires

????????????? thanks for the help...........now how about in english LOL.....that makes no sence to me....maybe Im just dense

JamisonWorkshop · 08-02-2006, 06:22 AM

his write up is easy to understand and do. I followedd it step by step, have the driveshaft part all done, just need to work out linkages which is not covered yet. Should be able to get the shaft done no problem, and have all the parts laying around.
