No the original front axle was a TLT axle which is not bad but it could be a bit narrower. The best option out right now are the Integy axles but you have to use their rears as well since the gear ratio is different than the Tamiya axles. Here is a link to a thread where I used the Integy axles.

All I have to say is you had better come up with one heck of a good paint job for the cab.

Here is part 3 of the 3 builds I am doing for this member. I modified it from its original version to look more like the member wanted it to. It was a really good platform to start with. There was not really anything wrong with it we just wanted to clean and change it up a little

Before








What we went off of for Ideas.



After

Here is the pic of the interior that I thought would be just right for the operator but the owner was not as thrilled as I was.



So here is what I went with.













Here is the rest of it.









Thanks for looking.

Travis
