Re: Driven front axle options?
Scott,if you mill the hexs (thinner) & do a little grindin on the rim.You can bring the wheels in even closer. But be careful,if you go to much,you'll be into the tierod arm. It really makes a difference.

Re: Driven front axle options?
can some one tell me what to use on the input shaft for an axial trans. that im using for a transfer case to go to 5mm so i can build my drive shafts? the shaft on the axial tranny is small and threaded i guess i should cut it off and grind a flat end on it?

Re: Driven front axle options?
thanks for posting the info on this thread, its helped me a lot. I'm making a 6X6 tipper (in UK terms)
Already got a Carson Truck Puller motor so dont need a reduction box. Instead I'm making a drop down gearbox using two of the big gears out of two spare Electrifly GD gearboxes, ( GD600 I think). We will see how it goes! |

Re: Driven front axle options?
How wide is the front drive axle? And would a axial axle fit?

Re: Driven front axle options?
This was asked of one of the axle brands, but not answered:
What about a 'throughput' front axle, like the forward unit on the dual-rear-axle semi's. Does no-one make a simple off-the-shelf unit yet, instead of us having to buy ones with metal casings at $150 and up? I know Joe and Willy DIY'd them a while back, but isn't anyone even making a ~kit~ for those of us with minimal tools? Only Robbe really makes one 'off-the-shelf', and I honestly don't like their axles when compared to Tamiya ones. Dislike 'em enough to ditch my 8x8 'Panther' chassis if I can do it with Tamiya parts (and they AIN'T cheap) So, guys... is there a way for us Neanderthals? |

Here is a pic of a set of TLT's used that way. He is using them as steerable rear axles but it is still exactly the same. Travis

Re: Driven front axle options?
Travis: (or whomever has done this, like Willy & Joe)
What about the flanges on the axle casing? Do the casing halves that are being used have the flange/edge that overlaps (malke side?), or the other one? I ask as if it needs removal, it can be used as an alignment assist, right? As for 'alignment', to assure that the 'throughput' pumpkin matches with the central piece, and the gear-mesh inside is ok, you just bore out the screw-holes (as you'll either have two bottoms with no access, or two tops with no thread to grab), and use long bolts and nuts instead, and it'll line up sufficiently well? If no-one has done a good step-by-step, mebbe I should do one when I do it, for the archives and all that, hm? If there is one, this is a ~great~ place to put the link to it. And lastly: how well do the TLT & Semi axles compare width-wise (assuming the same rims/tires all around) and gear-ratio-wise? I don't want a nasty issue with a semi rear end, mismatched to a TLT front (Can you put the gear-guts from one into the other and vice-versa to maintain ratio?) Sorry for all the questions, but when I get onto sommat thats been bugging me for years, I tend to run with it. WhiteWolf Last edited by WhiteWolf McBride; 03-02-2013 at 01:36 PM. |
