" do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's "
not sure what you mean here , Glen I'm using the hpi savage steel diffs out of a nitro truck . they seem to handle some abuse . only time will tell .
I took some time this weekend for myself
to unwind to figure out what to do to solve a production issue on hubs
so I made some more parts for the axles . when running 2'nd op in the mill for the spool carrier on the same jig that I use for hubs , it still f'n off
any how it was a long night
but I managed to save the carriers with a pressed in brass sleeve . well enough BS
I did take some so so pics
rear axle assm.
front and rear axle assm.
carrier and axles
pivot assm. and parts
steel sleeve over alum. for better wear protection
thanks for lookin
