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 |

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 |

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! |
