6x6 Advice Needed!

[TRUCKMAKER]

Welcome to the forum Tommy, if you want to use your stock rear axles, which are fine, you will need to go with the TLT steer axle, it bolts up and is the same gear ratio. If that's not an issue there are various options available. Search 1/14 truck on flea bay and you'll get an idea of what's out there, or someone should speak up on here that's used the other axles, I know there's a few. As far as a transfer case there are quite a few options, it just depends on your preference and budget, I had an Axial transmission I wasn't using and it worked great.

Scan the builds in this section, it'll give you an idea of what some of the builders on here have used. There are to many variations to list in one post. Also review the posts in the following section, there are many pages of posts with the information your looking for.

Good luck with your build, post a lot of pictures and we'll be able to help once we see pictures of what your doing if you need it. Your better off using a photo hosting site for the pictures you post here, it works better.

Thanks very much for the reply!

I didn't even notice that forum that you linked. Thanks! Looks like there's some good info there. I've got plenty of experience with Axial transmissions so I'll probably just go that route since it'll also get me the gear reduction I'd like. Unfortunately, TLT axles are getting harder to come by these days, but those are the ones closest to my budget. I love those Integy axles, but $300-450 for a set of 3 is more than I'd prefer to spend!

I wish I knew of more people in central Texas who ran these trucks. If so, I'd be inclined to leave it rear wheel drive. But otherwise, I'm really going to need it to be AWD because most of my friends are crawlers.
