GD600 is just a gear reduction unit

how will it lower your transmission?

im in the middle of a TXT crawler build, and still not set on a gear box and gear set yet, but...

my plans have been R2HD Novaks Rooser Crawler combo(novak55t) with a GD600 if need

my plans will have that transmission sitting very low and the motor will not be mounted to the top as yours is

Look into something like this for your behind the axle setup.

Install the servo on top and then move all the links to the top of the knuckles

will add a good amount of clearence


And I would recommend drilling out the output shalfs on the axles and just running a bolt threw the yoke and output shalf,... The screws are hanging out a long ways and dont need to be that long anyways

Sorry if I sound really picky

Is that acrylic going to be strong enough?

Looks good man

Very nice

Glad to be of some help

Looks like you added about 1/4"+ of clearence and moved that anchor up out of the way.

Does that drag link hit the axle at all? I had to bend mine just a little to clear. Just looks like yours is straight?


Do you hit the upper links with the servo at all?

and it almost looks like the driveline will hit the BTA bracket out at that point... I had to round mine over completely to fit my revo shafts in.

Sorry again for being very pointy But Im in the middle of building my TXT super

Keep up the good work

It must be those knuckles.. Im still stock. But those knuckles seem to have a longer reach

I also trimmed the steering stops off my knuckles

The issue I have with this setup is all the threaded rod for steering and suspension links. That will bend really easily. You will definately need much more beefy links.

Beyond that, the layout looks pretty good!
