i love them axles, looks like it's gunna be nice. personally with a 55t i'd go with a 12t pinion to a 72t spur, but its all personal preference, mess around and buy a couple diff pinion sizes and see wat works best. nice wheels and tires by the way.

you can not get a 72t spur (assumimg it is a 32p gear) on a pede tranny, it will not clear the out-drives. try 84 48p spur and i think a 13 t pinion.

post some flex shots, i would say maybe its your springs? are they pretty stiff? check all your connections to the chassis maybe somthing is binding? just try and think of anything that could be holding you up.

nice body i like it alot, great build. i wanna see some action shots soon.

nice build, my only sugestion about the shocks would be to make them more parallel with the chassis, or maybe you need bigger rod ends, like revos or the 10mm ones from the crawler store, there could be to much presure on them and they are binding. IMO.

Question Axle Supports
How hard, and how much time, does it take to make those axle supports?
