dang that is fugly. the body any ways. and too me that thing looked uber long. but i guess not. did you end up just welding metal yokes to the ae trannys outputs? or did you do something else? i didnt see so i had to ask. im going to use a t3 trans for mine. and thinkin of ways i can do it. looks good, keep it up.

we welded rod into the yokes... that way i can pull the traxxas yoke off like normal and still disassemble the case. |

i really dont remember... i know i just ground little flat spots on the rod for the set screws from the traxxas yokes... you actually have to try to hold the rod centered in the yokes while you weld it, cause you are gonna have to fill the gap with weld.
