That ladder truck would be cool converted to rc.

i use the axles from a mini giant rc monster truck but, they quit making them many years ago and rarely come up for sale on ebay.

But, if you only need rear wheel drive you might check out the tiny metal axle that rc4wd sells. It is a 1/18 t-rex micro axle. The axle is very small but it is all metal so, you could extend it to the width you need..

Good luck and have fun.

I looked at the axle you suggested. The width looks like it would work just fine. Now for another piece of the puzzle. I need help with is attaching the dual rear wheels to the axle and shaft. Did you drill your axle shaft and put the pin in it, or did it come that way?

Has anyone on here widened one of these 1/18 t-rex axles and who offers the parts to do it? I have one of these axles and I am looking to widen it.
