Yeah, I was eyeballing your drawings & assemblies & was beginning to wonder what interferences there might be with the driveline.

New parts to see everyday, you seem to be moving forward quite quickly.

It's very hard to predict all suspension movements and it effects to the drive line before you actually build it
There's not much extra room there so there might still be a few nasty surprises to come

Hey that diff in the last picture is what I am after! Well I need two I guess...

The suspension parts are looking great Ari! Did you ever get the TIG welding figured out?

I'm still struggling when I try to weld thin plate to some thicker part, I can't get the thicker part hot enough before thin one melts away

I started to make the frame

I test fitted the bogie to the frame. I don't have the new middle axle yet to see if the drive shaft have enough room
I think I start to make the a-frames front end attachment next. I going to use a ball joint there so that the bogie and axles can move freely.

I had this same problem with my A30c 1/16 scale. Totally impossible to build as the real one.
