You use the rear inner rims as front rims http://www.customrcmodels.com/Tanks/id86.htm

Re: Driven front axle options?
Willy:
My imagination, or is the front actually a little narrower than the outer rear axles? As I've got a semy with stock rear width, it'll help me tell if the deed is not only do-able, but would look decent enough under the body... Thanks for the assistance, WhiteWolf |

Re: Driven front axle options?
If you get 2x TLT-1 axles and 2x center axles ( from a 3 axle truck ) , then you have all the parts for the swap without having to purchase the extra axle housing ( a-parts 0005467 + pinion-gear ) , since then you just use the left over housing half from one TLT-1 axle and fit that as last rear axle . In that case you also would have to do some cutting , but not that much , to fit it together .

all-wheel-drive rig , but with bigger and wider tires . Therefore the front tires stick out from the fenders ( and the rear is much wider as stock ) http://customrcmodels.com/Trucks/new_6wd_project.htm with stock semi-rims and tires they would be just covered by the fenders here is a good photo from Travis's Mack :

Re: Driven front axle options?
Is there a driven front driven axle with remote locking diff and complete disconnect? Or are they all open and locked only?
I have setup some wedico metal axles that can do this and it is a nice feature.

I don't really see how the guy that mods the tamiya axles could completely disconnect the front axle from being driven/powered? I have it bookmarked on how to to lock and unlock the diff. The second link looks like a Lesu axle (maybe re-branded?) and going by the photos i have found it looks like it just locks and unlocks the diff and does not completely disconnect the front axle from being driven. It would be nice if a tamiya tlt axle could be converted to work the way that i want it to.

Re: Driven front axle options?

Re: Driven front axle options?
Well here is my experience with a disconnect for the front axle. I have a dump truck with a TLT for a front axle and an RC4WD 3 speed. The 3 speed is only rear output in 2nd and 3rd gear. In first gear it engages the front axle. Steering with a load sucks in 2nd and 3rd with having to push the front axle around turning the diff and drive shaft (this is where the disconnect in the axle would come in handy like Small Haul mentioned). So I find myself driving around in first most of the time. From then on after building that truck I just made them full time all-wheel drive.

I guess a compromise would be a disconnect trans or transfer case and a lockable front axle. Does anyone have first hand experience with the lockable Lesu front axle? Is it durable and function well?

Re: Driven front axle options?
Thanks folks for much useful information. I as well was debating placing a powered axle on the front of my King Hauler. I bought it used, & plan to hack the sleeper off, & build it into a logging truck. I think the addition of powered steer axle will make it more functional.
