What are you going to use for shafts? How will you mount the shafts into the dog bone style tranny if you are not using the dogbones? please post pics of the shafts you are going to use installed on the truck. Thanks!

4stAir · 12-13-2006, 04:43 PM

here is a pic of the b4 tranny.

Here's the dig shaft pic even though I probably won't get any credit for it:-P

dugfrompa · 12-13-2006, 05:16 PM

thanks. i was going to use my stealth tranny from a t3 in a tlt with a custom chassis and was trying to figure out how i was going to mount the axles, now i know. Great job on the build and keep up the great work. dont get lazy or anxious to finish it, do it right. It will work out great!!!

Later

you could also just drill a hole in the associated yokes, and put the stock traxxas stub axles in their, then put a bolt through the drive pin hole and the hole you drilled... wallah.

here is a pic of my bulu done that way.

stevew · 12-14-2006, 06:05 PM

looking good

xjman · 12-14-2006, 06:26 PM

Really like the setup, I've been thinking about doing a 3 link on an upcomming build. Do they offer more flex, or better controled flex than a 4-link?
If it offers more, is it better to have the increased movement in the rear like you have?

4stAir · 12-14-2006, 07:06 PM

i am running it for the mounting point. i need somewhere to run a servo for the dig and 3 link is a solid mounting point.

dugfrompa · 12-14-2006, 08:42 PM

does the 3 link make that much difference other than the four link?

4stAir · 12-14-2006, 08:48 PM

you will typically get a lot more flex out of a 3 link.... but 4 link is easier to build.
