the original awd parts
was it a tamiya F-150 front axle?
i'm working on an awd here and don't want to use the F150 axle because its too wide

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

No the original front axle was a TLT axle which is not bad but it could be a bit narrower. The best option out right now are the Integy axles but you have to use their rears as well since the gear ratio is different than the Tamiya axles. Here is a link to a thread where I used the Integy axles.

Hey Travis - that rotation speed looks ideal - great work.

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

Here is part 3 of the 3 builds I am doing for this member. I modified it from its original version to look more like the member wanted it to. It was a really good platform to start with. There was not really anything wrong with it we just wanted to clean and change it up a little

After

Here is the pic of the interior that I thought would be just right for the operator but the owner was not as thrilled as I was.

So here is what I went with.

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

I sent it to the right guy!!!!!
Turned out way better then expected

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

After seeing it in many pieces, you my friend are a master builder to say the least. The new interior looks much more prototypical than what you started with. Spudd is getting a work of art :D:D

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

That's a great makeover, nice work.
