Had some time to work on the loader. So I got one of the steering cylinders mounted I have all the brackets for the other side made so it should go quickly.

How come you didn't go with the TXT-1 axles? It's more than twice the reduction and a lot more mass grabbing with the gears vs just a crown & pinion.

Looking for a link I see the axle/trk kit was discontinued in 2012, but some good alternatives would be the Blackwell axles..

http://store.rc4wd.com/Blackwell-X1-...xle_p_451.html

... or even the Bully Comp axles (I've never used them myself) eliminating the need for a transmission, transfer case & driveshafts.

The txt 1 axles were the best. Too bad they don't make them anymore

The axle used in most German loaders and dumpers with a traditional driveline.

Nice - wish I had the skills to build my own!

Since short, ScaleArt has added a drive axle for wheel loaders to their catalog. Bit pricey though.
425 € with 19% sales tax and 358 € without the tax
