Well the rear axle is done it only took 1 shim on the pinion to take up the extra movement there.The H R lockouts was a different story though when thay were put together the bearing inside the lockout would slide in and out about 1 1/2mm on both sides,I used 3 traxxas teflon washers on each side on the stub axle then put the axle through the lockout, problem solved.

What I've done now is changed the stub ends from WK to the RCP TLT stub ends and several hour of serching for the rite bearings to use in the VP knuckles they will work,But as for being sumwhat simple and cost affective I do'nt think so but other might,Also the shaft end needs to be shortend and the flat sections need to be cut on them. | |

| Re: ratterd's Venom build
That was the problem i was having, everything that looks like it might work well had the wrong stub on it and once you swapped stubs, the cost was over my limit. .........sooooo the pig of a bronco is going SCX10 axles and the creepers are moving in under a much lighter tuber ;)

I like the link plate being up high like that. What are the benefits of raising them up and separating them though?

Would you be willing to do up a parts list with part numbers for the front axle conversion? whats the ratio difference front and rear?

| Re: ratterd's Venom build The plate is only raised 1/8 of a inch,The reason for the highth is so I can get the anti squat I'm looking for,It also helps with torque twist and flex steer.

| Re: ratterd's Venom build
Flex steer isn't an issue for me at all with 4WS but the torque twist would be nice to get rid of. With these being shaft driven, it can only be countered not completely eliminated. I just moved my upper rear links to the outer portion of the stock tabs and that helped quite a bit. Your design is wider and may be adaptable to fit the servo in there as well as allow more uptravel with my battery placement. I look forward to seeing your build and I really want to see some good high torque video of it as well.

I am starting to think this mod would be worth the money. I can run Axial axles and have these laying around or i can invest some time/money and get them functional. You have seen as I have that the Front is trouble area while the rear can be welded up and built with the stock parts. | |

I would really like to do some testing on this front axle before anybody desides to build it,I think the weak point of the axle is that 6x10x3 bearing.

I did'nt use the pins that come in the kit for the hexs I used the traxxas set screws that have the pin on them thay are used on the traxxas pinion yokes.I drilled the hole on the stub axle alittle bigger for the pin and slid the hex over the hole put the pin in through the hex and the stub axle and tightend it up.It made for a much closer fit to the knuckle.
