my new ride
 

Well guys I just finished with some of your help. My last issue is a driveshaft. I used rics 3"extensions and need a driveshaft approx 230mm. Can anyone lead me to one or do I somehow need to use 2 driveshafts and a carrier bearing.
Thanks guys, looking foward to gettin her going

Search the forum. Tamiya cowboy did a nice write up on how to custom biuld one.

I have not seen an aftermarket driveshaft that looks real and is longer than what rc4wd sells. On both my king hauler frames I had to use a carrier bearing and 2 drive shafts...

But of your staying prototypical...real trucks of that length will also have carrier bearings and 2 driveshafts..

Thanks guys, Got er almost done with some awesome parts from Russ-true scale rc, Steve at ihb and Ric at garden trucking and will be adding a cool bow tie visor from Rod. Just have to find a carrier bearing and some drive shafts and its good. Was going to add the lift axle but I kinda like it like this. I was no good at drilling rails so I used the extensions.

Here is an under shot

I have seen different styles of mountine options for center support bearings.

Some are the same width as the tamiya frame others are skinny and will need to be bolted to a plate and the plate bolted to the frame.



Rc4wd has a few styles that I have used with good results. They now have a nice skinny one that looks like it bolts to the frame.
