Re: Front driven axle
Thats a very nice build you have there! Thats what I would like for my 8x8, something like a crawler truck that can go anywhere.
But here I would like to build simple front axle. I was looking a 1:1 Volvo FMX trucks for some time now, and their multi axle trucks only have 3 running axles, where 2 rear axles are big ones, and the front one is a small on demand unit, used only when needed. So they offer 4x4, 6x6, 8x6, 10x6. I guess in the real world that is enough for construciton site type of terrain.
Thats what I am looking for. And locking unit will take more space. And as I would like to make it bolt on for tamiya truck, that means there is no space. And I dont wont to move any of the stock parts, so gearbox stays, and ride height would only go up by maybe 10mm, as it wouldnt have drop axle anymore.
