Has anyone done this same idea using a VP Dig unit ? I just started a build and was going for this same effect.

I don't know if it's been done with the VP Dig but I'm sure I've seen it done with older dig units... it could be done with the VP.

LOL ! I thought it had been done before. This video made me question the matter.

I wasn't aware of that unit. I just looked into it, looks like a strong unit, but it looks like if you turn the trans around the servo would be pretty far forward, I don't think it would clear the electronics box unless you moved that out to another place or did away with it all together.

any ever thought of taking the wraith transmission and adding the dig unit and the turning the transmission around??
so then you would have 4x4,4x2, and line lock on front wheels.. hmmm burn out idea??? lol.

I tried that on my Honcho. The distance between the dig output and the front diff is really short. This made front shaft line angle too steep which caused the front drive to bind up. I was going to try modifying the drive shafts to help with the binding, but I got distracted by an Exo Terra and haven't gotten back to make the Wraith transmission in the Honcho.

I once got banned from RCC after posting pictures of Fishmaxx getting tea bagged... It was a great vacation. I learned alot from that experience, I no longer post rude or NWS things at all.

Guess that didn't last long.
