Very interesting start Ari with those planetary gears! What axles are you using and what is the overall width with the planetaries installed?

Thanks, Reg

I decided to start with the axles to see if it's possible to add those planetary gears to these axles.
The width I'm aiming is 192 mm hub to hub.

It needs several parts to attached the planetaries to axles. Also the bolt pattern on planetaries don't match with the rims I'm using, so I had to make a new hubs over them.

Here are the parts for one side:

Wow that looks awesome Ari! We are all glad to see you back in the game.

Where did you buy the axles from? I am looking for a set with the raised(offset) input/output shaft like I built for my Kenworth. I have seen pictures of an axle that I believe was made by Rigidrc online that had this but can't find any for sale. I may have to build my own again or use something like you are using. I can't afford to buy the $400 Euro a piece German axles!
