Thanks I had to come up with something different to get it all to fit and work.

That's an interesting drivetrain and frame. So you've got what looks like Axial axles, but you made one with a pass through input/output shaft, and you are using that as the mounts to allow for axle oscillation? That's actually a pretty cool idea. I don't think I would have thought of something like that. How's it work? Just a couple bronze/oilite bushings on the input/output shafts to allow oscillation? Kind of surprised there is enough shaft left to hook up the driveshaft yoke.

Nate you are right they are Axial axles and the shaft was to short. The good thing about these axles is that they use a pin drive pinion so I just made a longer shaft to make room for the pivot. The other side is a Traxxas Stampede front axle shaft, I didn't need an output or input just a pivot point.

Thanks to all for looking.
