Haven't done much work on her lately, but I did go ahead and hack off the sleeper. Not sure if it'll stay this way depending on electronics layout but the trans/motor fits nice even with the interior in it. The front bumper will be milled smaller for more clearance. RC4WD R2HD Trans with Holmes Hobbies 7t Cobalt Puller should do this rig proud. I'll be able to put a powered axle in front should I decide it needs it. If it stays a daycab, the headache will need to be cut down a bit. |

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
One thing to consider, on grade's or off road site's, I have heard of 980's & 988's pushing the trailer, to help the truck out and not squirt the driveline out.
This is worst case senerio, but at the show's, it's nice to have friend's help out with that "BMF" load! That's big monster frustrator for the clean version! The old Gibbon's & Reed Pit in Kaysville, Utah, had close to 20% grade going up into the pit. Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
I've put a fair amount of stress on these ring and pinions before. I know they'll fail eventually though.
Specs on pullers: You can't find a more powerful brushed motor in this class. You get insane wheelspeed, more torque than any 540 motor, and the finest slow speed control. All in one motor. 7 slot armature allows for better throttle resolution with a high motor speed. Recommended lipo battery- 6t- 2s only. 40a continuous 7t- 2 to 3s (3s may result in overheating). 45a continous 11.1v use, 35a continuous 7.4v use 10t- 2 to 3s. 40 amps continuous 11.1v use, 30 amps continuous for 7.4v. 14t- 3 to 6s. 35a continuous 22.2v use, 25a continuous 3s use Slightly longer than a standard 540 motor. Uses standard 1/8" pinions, and 25mm motor mount spacing- bolts up like a normal 540 motor. **Some stock uses 4-40 mounting screws that are included** Super Strong cobalt magnets 7 slot armature 6.9 ounces, 200g 2.5" long, 1.35" diameter 5-10 volts 160*F max 6t- TBD 7t - 2800 rpm/volt 10t- 1800 rpm/volt 14t- TBD |

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
You should just go ahead and give this truck a powered front axle. I think you'll like having it, and it would raise the front bumper up a touch. You might not even need to mill it. If it's worth building, it's worth over building!

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
Got some work done on the rig tonight.
Here's the mount I came up with for the R2HD trans: It's only mounted to one side so I thought I was going to have to brace it to the other side frame but it feels pretty solid. 00 Biddle KDub grill! |

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
YEEEEAAAH BUDDY! That motor will do the trick I have one in my tri axle and she pulls like a champ.. I am glad I got a few before they stopped making them.

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
Thats a pretty nice trans mount! Looks beefy. I'd build another for the otherside, if it was mine, but sometimes when you are making parts like this, by hand, you're lucky if the holes come out where you want them, and they line up the first time! It becomes a question of you deciding if you really feel like making a copy of the same parts!

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
Theres no mounting holes on that side of the trans. Would have to tie a bracket in from the top. Problem with that is the top of the trans already hits the interior floor. Would like to keep that in tact if possible.

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
With that frame support just behind the trans I think you will be OK - at least untill most everything else is mounted up. Why not poke some holes in that other side? you would have to take it apart to clean up the shavings and such though...

Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler
Why is Izzy always wanting to poke holes in things? Weirdo...
