Re: Euclid R18
That diff and drive shaft created some sleepless nights for me! I ended up using a cast aluminum ring and pinion from an old Diawa fishing reel that I had since I was a kid(I'm a self confessed hoarder). The drive shaft is not perfectly straight but at the speed it turns you hardly notice. The only problem with my setup is the fact that it's a solid axle so my turning radius kinda sucks. I enjoy welding and fabricating stuff so as long as I build something different everytime I'm having fun. I'll post some pics of my first scratch build later(the fishboat).
Thanks again for all the positive feedback, it's very motivating!
Here's a pic of the real truck.
