well today i put my lst front nuckles on my nemesis lets say a perfect fit my only issue is the cvds on the lst and nemesis arent the same length. has anyone ever found any cvds that are she same length as nemesis

yes the xtm mammoth st dogbones and the xtm mammoth axles, you just need to change the bearing on the inside from 19mm to 19mmoutside and 8mminside i found them at boca bearing for 25 dollars or something like that .i made my own axles here

you need to scroll down to see all the parts used and once you use them you wont go back to the original parts any more

man my truck looked new then

How did those hold up???? Still using them??

have you ever compare the matrix truggy cvd to the nemesis

i wonder if there the same length as nemesis

good question blackrain, I will take both of mine to see..

There you go the Arena Shaft is about 129mm pin to pivot, and the Nemesis Cvd Shft is about 121mm pin to pivot. See pic Below..
And a shameless shot of the family,, sorry guys,,lol

so its to long guess the xtm will be the way to go

looking at jumbos mod he didnt use the whole xtm complete axle he made a seperate end piece much rather find a complete axle that will work

another ? for dogman what kind of bulk head is on the arena would the lower arms be interchangable with nemesis

the axles i made with some 5/16 cold rolled steel rod and used the xtm diff cups or the part that connects them and i used the xtm dogbones from the mammoth st.

not sure of the dogbones either these

or these

i think its the second one because i remember them being silver

i used them once and they worked well , i have them as a backup when i break all the axles i have (got them cheap for 4.00 a piece and have a dozzen all the upgraded ones) this would set you back some cash but you would never need to buy axle stubs again

dogman i like the family [sm=biggrin.gif]

im looking weight reduction normal cvds would be much lighter than the nemesis ones

here are the bearings

the dogbones are def lighter but the rest ,the rod and the diff cups are the same as the original. i came up with this before the new axle stubs came out because i broke one on the genesis le

TRD me and the wife think that pic is great one of the best family pics I've ever seen[8D]

Lol, i like how they are all stacked up. Offtopic: How do you like your Axial AX10 TRD?

Well, today was the first day on the rocks. And in 1 word,,, Fan-freakin-tastic!!! This thing crawls crazy right out of the box!! Now just a few very minor tweeks to the ride height and some fortifying the rear steer lock outs and this baby is comp ready!!

Here it is just after I painted and mounted the bobbed bug body:

Whatcha think?

I'm thinking of building a crawler but can't find anything really cheap to start with...that and i'm really broke after loseing another job...

Dude that crawler looks sick, nice paint job btw

Poo, The Axial AX10 Was $225 shipped from Ultimate Hobbies as a complete roller w/ body. and you could do the electronics with a $30 Moped ESC, a $20 55t lathe motor, $20 Battery, and a cheap radio for like $50 not a bad deal if you ask me. Sorry about the loss tho.

Thank you darkfire I like how it turned out. I think that will my scheme for all my crawlers.. Lol like I have more than 2, so far!!
