Default RE: T-maxx axle carriers and half shafts on a fun factor

too bad we can't find entire diffs that would work ;-)
lol, theres a fine line between loads of mods and a different truck!

right... here is a way to do the shafts and hubs... finally....

i have here the plastic tmaxx driveshafts. the male sliding part has a hole thru the length of it that is very similar in diameter to the cen driveshafts. if we chop the dogbone end off the cen shaft, drill a hole thru it (tricky bit that), and drill a corresponding hole thru the tmaxx male shaft, cut the cv off the male shaft, slide the dogbone into the tmaxx shaft and secure it with a cen hex pin. with me so far? then slide back into the female shaft to avoid the pin falling out.

obviously the tmaxx shafts will need shortening. oh the dogbone from the cen centre shaft may work too. i reckon if we grind a small flat on the dogbone shaft then it will be easier to drill it for the pin...?

the shock lower mount may need a trim for clearance but i reckon its a goer if i can drill thru the shafts ok...

any thoughts?
