Looking for new Trails
Is this monster still around...
Yup, sitting in the shop collecting dust right now. Waiting for a reconstruction if I ever get time.

I'm building a similar beast with widened kyosho mad force axles. What's the weight of yours? I was planning on using HPI baja shocks with internal springs. I'm having trouble finding a good shock spring setup. By the way I used your wheel mod except for I'm using foams no air. Your build is what started mine.

Hey bud, like most everyone else, I love ya truck! One thing I've been wanting to try that I think you would like is on the front and rear rockwell axles, where most people put a fake brake rotor on the center. You could put on a propeller off a boat so when you are floating you could really tread some water. Sounds cool huh! Let me know what you think!:shock:
That would definitely help move it along!
Been a while since I've really thought about trying to get this thing running. It's been sitting on a shelf with the electronics stripped from it and missing a transmission. I may have to look into getting some axles under this thing so I can get it back out on the trails.

Thats awesome Nick! I didnt realise this rig was still in existance?! Id love to see what the next level with this build would be!
Never really looked into that?
Been a while since I've done some brazing....... I think it turned out decent. I definitely want to make the rounded cover shorter in height if I can get a small enough internal gear. This one is just a test housing to see what it could even look like. I'll probably clean it up and get it under the truck with some link mounts on it to see if it looks right.
You can see here that I can shave quite a bit off this..... would look a lot nicer and give it more clearance too.
Little mock up in front of the big chevy
Chopped the bottom cover off and shaved it down.
Pulled the center diff out of my 8ight with a 48t spur to see how it would work out. Outputs are a little wide but the gear clears no problem. Might have to get a little creative with the top flange on the axle housing.

You ever get those axles finished? Your build inspired me to build my own. I also copied your wheel idea minus the valve stem.
