I can definitely relate to that!
So here's why I didn't bother with putting the new diff grease into the TLT front axle. Lesu locking diff with a 2.6:1 ratio. It's narrow so the tires will tuck...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
I now have a full size servo controlling the shifter. It's so much stronger than the micro servo I tried and doesn't heat up at all. I think that issue may now be resolved....

Re: Tamiya 3 Speed..... Love It or Hate It?
For those who've modified a Tamiya 3 speed for a front output. How much did you lower the trans to get a decent driveline angle for the front shaft? Or did you significantly lower the truck to...

Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler
