Check out my video I just made.
I made a little course in my back yard. I thought I'd show you.

Cool vid "thumbsup"
Did a test run at the lake yesterday and shot a little footage, still has to be G6 tested, but so far, so good.

Nice test run. The Blue Bastard was rockin' a morbidly bitchin' tune. I hope the Blue Bastard is ready to for the Birthday Bash. This location was where you got your G6 cherry popped and became the best transmission mechanic in G6 History! :mrgreen:

Love the rig as usual Chris and your taste in music is pretty sick!"thumbsup"

I agree with DRIVNMF and B-rad, nice video and my 4 and 6 year old was asking me what was wrong as I was "jiggn" with the movie....

way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys, glad you like it. I really want to make this truck as reliable and bullet-proof as I can, yet still make things "intersting" This truck has come a long way since the first G6...
Anyhoo, got a little package from Germany yesterday, my Felsenfest lockers came in. This should help eliminate a lot of slop in the driveline..

That, along with the beef tubes and a new set of hardened overdrive gears should toughen these up a little bit more.

Plus a plug on the top of the pumpkin, to tighten down the lockers or fill it up with grease.

BEEEEF... :shock::shock: thats cool..

So i have never come close enough to breaking a housing for this to even come to mind... I take it that sleeving the axle tubes does more than just stiffen up the plastic housing?? :mrgreen:

Less deflection, more weight on the axle, grease containment.... ???

How do you find anything on that work bench :ror: ???

I've gone through about 3 or 4 housings over the last few years- since I put these tubes in--- 0
I really started to burn through the housings when I ran a bigger tire. (4.75 and above) run a set of 2.2's and it gets worse.
Another upside is that it gives something solid to bolt the C-hub into, stiffening everything up.
As far as the workbench, yeah, it's a mess. Like my mind.:shock:

Matt I've got a extra set if you need one. I think both Mike See and Chris broke their rear housings the same weekend and I was lucky enough to have a few sets laying around just in case or well in case I was going to do another build :roll:

OK Parker and Brad, we going to put in another workout in conjunction with a G6 with these :ror: AX90015 Axial EXO™ - 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD Terra Buggy - Kit No need for gym memberships Recon G6 is what you need to get some of that extra weight off :lmao:

Eric, i've all ways said your mom does have a REALLY nice "package" YO!!!
:lmao:

If you cracked open all of our axle's, you'd be suprised to find hidden "Beef" in many of them. They're called Gunnar Beef Toobs and they're just what any axial ax10/scx10 axle needs. The added weight at the axle is also a hidden bonus "thumbsup" And if you are crafty, you can make your own that accept XR10 knuckles, chubs, and uni's.
Felsenfest is the way to go for lockers too. I am still running my original pair pulled from my ancient 2.2 shafty comp rig. They last forever

:lmao:

Butthead: "Uh, huh..huh..huh. He said "Package"

Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Package! Let me see your moms package!

Sorry Brad, just caught an episode of the new Beavis and Butthead. Werewolves of Highland! LOL :lmao:

 

[ZackMicF]

You would know, "capitan I will bend over for any package"
