You should make it a double axel in the rear. That would be cool.

 

[S3K7]

double axle in the rear yeah!!!

 

[nate3923]

yea i am going to do that but cant find another axle to use plus i dont really know how i would make both of them run at the sametime

 

[Stampedekid]

Running two at the same time would be tough, but looks fantastic so far, great way to start. I bet its huge huh?(Whats the length of it? Looks fairly large for a micro)

Go over to scale4x4rc.org and talk to a guy named chevy55. He is currently building a semi micro. He can tell you how to set up the first axle. (hope this is O.K.)
Here is his build post.....

I'm pretty sure that there's already an 8x8 mog over on that site, it's sick!

be ready to see the most impressive micro I've ever seen; period.

Nate that's awesome so far. cant wait to see how it turns out. PM me if you need help with that center axle.

 

[VooDuuChild]

Nate, if you check out that link I posted, it shows just how easy it is to make a through axle for the center one. I think he even details parts and sizes with good pics. (that is if you decide to go dual axle rear which would look sick and drastically improve your crawlin ability)

Looks killer so far!

 

[nate3923]

Did a few changes and am now going for the land train look.
two axles are just on for looks hope to get two more working axles sometime.
