Screaminglife, be sure to keep us posted w/ your projects!!

Why not get another TXT axle and do a dual rear axle truck?!


I'll get you some drawings/mock ups with the month. I have the second txt on its way... and where would i get all the pieces for an axle there Lunchboxer? I know where to get an axle case, but what about all the gears and driveshafts and whatnot?

anyways, how would i get an axle to go thru the middle one?

Neweramodels? rc4wd? please tell me!



If you think about it you would only need to have a shaft going thru both sides of the gear casing.
You would only need to modify one gear case to get it to work.

I would just go with one servo in the front also, 6WD will turn better than you may think.

Just got these in today.. the MIP CVDs are going to be stout, I think... check out the diameter at the joint..

Come w/ their own bearings and all.. they are not cheap, but not unreasonable, really....

Well, here's what I got so far. I still have to work out the mounting setup for the bed and paint it. Also I still need the grill and roll bar. Have to wait 'til Tower or Stormer get them back in stock.

LOL, if you see the way I drive, you wouldn't say that. I've never even rolled my TXT once yet. That's how careful I drive.

Busted out my TXT last night and drove it around in the yard w/ a single pack.. (yikes!) Single LiPo... so I can't wait to try it out when I get another 5000mAh LiPo pack.. LOL!

Good to drive the TXT after a long time.. but for sure, after getting used to dual packs.. driving it with single pack is underwhelming..

Nice shell on this TXT!
