990 cat loader

[RCKiwi]

What sort of differential are you planning on using in this beaut Steve? I've been spending a lot of time on a design for a very small LSD for my loader build, but am thinking are they actually needed? With the weight these scale loaders end up, do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's? Sorry, just picking your brain here

Cheers

" 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
