Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

[Prop Shaft]

Got to work on the engine/transmission.

Shift forks


Bolted on tranny tail

Transfer case mounted

Gears installed

A look at the 2wd/4wd shift mechanism



It seems to work really smooth. Only thing im not thrilled about is how open the top of the trans is to outside debris.

Disc brake cam and piston


No brake pads to speak of. Just metal on metal.

Mounted up

Using the 45 can motor that came with the cross 8x8. 45t is recommended in the manual and I had this one laying around so.... Notice the brass helical pinion gear. Hope its durable.

Rest of the gears installed.


All greased up and ready to close up.

Oil pan installed.

Started mounting the 3 sub micro servos.

And this is where I leave it for the night. This thing reminds me alot of the original bruiser trans. It functions much the same way, with the exception that it looks realistic on the outside.
