Looks clean! Lots of room on that chassis to mount stuff too.

nice build, I have ran plastic universals for a while now, and never had a problem, hopefully you wont either. Plus I like some plastic somewhere so you dont break metal internals or bind up a motor. Looks like you have a plastic spur so that would probably go first anyway.

What transmission had you been using? I've got a Axial tranny sitting on my workbench but I've been really happy with my old pede with a slipper clutch and rock solid dependability. I'd like to loose the weight and the Axial is so smooth but I hate change a winner. I like you trible paint design .... |

I was using an RC4WD trans but found the gearing to be way too low... Tons of torque but had no wheel speed.. So I switched in the AX10, larger spur and now have the best of both worlds.. The plastic yokes on the axles are not going to be a problem at all as I have a pin all the way thru.. The ones on the trans so far are holding up but I will probably change those to metal yokes in the near future... |

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking about the R2 with dig for my rig but I've heard that geared to low a bunch of times now and thats a little discouraging.

Well I was also thinking about upgrading to punisher shafts soon.. So I might just end up doing that..

Looks good. I love these little AX-10 trannies. I've got one in my 2.2 Hustler running a Crawlmaster from Mr. Holmes. Ever since I installed that tranny,I've been beating on it hard and have yet to see a problem. I've got another AX-10 tranny that I'm getting ready to put through a torture test. I'm glad RCP is now selling the tranny kits,makes it easy to get a great tranny set up.
