Ninetiesbeard Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Some updates. Made a few little pieces to get the ball rolling on the truck again. Wasnt happy with the centre diff which was constantly leaking and didnt work very well in practice even with 500k fluid so i found a weird spool/slipper thing that comes from a himoto 1/8th truck and bought that. I took a gamble on it fitting in a normal centre diff location and it does. Same diameter shaft, a nice design and easily modified if the himoto parts end up being too cheesium. After installing that i realised that i then had two stub axles to bridge with driveshafts, and opted for a set of cheap cardan joints from amazon. They are rebuildable with e clips, and feel pretty smooth. Lathed up some shafts to go between, and the driveshafts are now made. I also made some braces for the top of the centre diff which i really dont like so those will be re made. Decided against the mgm esc for the build because its a little larger than what i need now, and has an awkward form factor. Ive got a castle monster 2 which will go in instead. Thanks for reading, i have everything to finish this now but i am very busy these days so ive no idea when itll get done. Cheers, NB. Had a bunch of photos to upload but they are "too large" so ill stick with these two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
