Watch you triangulation when doing your lift mechanism.
Thanks Izzy, I agree, it will probably never see that much articulation, at least not on purpose. I took those pictures to show another member how extreme it could go with out the shafts pulling apart.
The dump mechanism will be interesting, it will be a slow process until I get comfortable with the set up.

Thanks Steve glad you like it. Ouch I figured these Traxxas rods and ends would cut it, guess I'll have to take it out and tear them up so I have an excuse to upgrade.

Hi Finster, thanks for the comment. The t-case is a transmission out of an Axial AX10 Scorpion crawler I parted out. I believe the part number is AX80009. The input shaft has to be modified to use it like this. If you shop eBay or some of the more popular RC Crawler sites, there are better alternatives out there, I just happened to have this collecting dust on a shelf and knew Travis used one in one of his builds so I gave it a shot.
