Default Re: Tamiya Semi - Powering the Steering Axle

You can extend the bottom shaft yourself welding a slightly larger steel rod with a mig or silver solder and trim to size with the lathe... there's quite a few lathes in your Islander group, if you don't have one.

The downside to this modification is there isn't much room between the front of trans & front axle putting the universals at impossible angles... you could slide the trans back, but then that distorts all the other assemblies in the trk.

The hilift trans is a great fit for making a 6wd trk, can be found in for sale threads in this forum or on ebay for around $75.
