| Comp Twin Build
Just a mock up shot to get measurements, and sorry the pics are a little blurry. But I think you can get the idea. Not sure yet if I will build a stick or a high clearance linker. Maybe both to see which I like better. This way I will run 3 drive shafts. The one in the middle will have carrier bearings up high. |

That is very different and unique. On to the chassis: Do you think this might be of any use? |

You just planning on the tranny on the front axle right? I've seen a TLT built like that on here somewhere. If you are planning the rear axle to have a tranny too, I've seen that on here as well, not sure what type of axle but it was a super axle, not 2.2. Looks like a good start, bulletproof axles is always a good start.

I set up a mad force axle like that- even used the same tranny, ended up ditching it because I couldn't get the mount strong enough. I think it is a great idea for a shafty though.

I hadn't seen it before but I know there is pretty much nothing new under the sun. I am trying to build a pretty strong mount so we will see how it goes. If it's not good enough I will try again. Will get more pics up this week. Jamus- Just one tranny, hoping to keep the weight low. I have seen the TLT's with the motor mounted to the axle but not the tranny's also. |

so you have one tranny and one motor on each axle , then connect the 2 with drive shafts? is there a 3rd tranny on the chassis?

| No,one tranny and motor all on the front axle.. They'll be a drive shaft going to the rear axle from the out put of the tranny on the front axle |

| Not yet, Still in building process. Wish I had more time to build but hopefully it won't take too long. Gotta have it ready for a comp in mid. October. Lotsa guys in the club have really downplayed shaft driven Super comp rigs. I wanna whoop them with this. Lets hope it's at least competitive.(along with my driving skills) Last edited by 426rider; 10-01-2007 at 05:45 PM. Reason: language |
