| Maxx aluminum differential housing
I just finished my aluminum diff housings (first time i braze aluminum), It's a bit different than what we usually see . Each housing weight 167 grams. Still a lot of things to do to finish my crawler project but want to share my new passion http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23.../Diffparts.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...Diffbrazed.jpg |

What type of rod did you use to braze the aluminum with? Any tips for someone trying to braze aluminum? Those look great! |

A litle update on the finished product...My first concern was the servo location, i wanted it right there The front tie rod is made of unbreakable structural fiberglass. |
