This truck is really looking really good. I understand you are running twin motors with different-from-stock pinions and driven gear going into the transmission? Would appreciate some detail on what gears you are running and did you have to build the two-motor bracket.
Thanks! Ken

Ken It's an E-max tranny they come with 2 motor set up . The best guy to tell you about what I have would be Travis . I'm kinda trusting his jugement on the motor trans setup . If it works and has what I need for the pan , I'll be putting these in them too . I like the 2 speed idea .
![]() thanks Troy ![]() Rob the set up will take longer to true it up then to cut . If I get the CNC mill working , it'll be easier on that then the lathe , I'm thinking . If not then in the 4 jaw . Steve

Just awesome work on this Steve. Looking great!!
What specific flux are you using on the alum?...was thinking about giving this a try...but not a welder. How hot we talking...do I need real tanks and torch or something that could be done lower heat like w/ little coleman propane torch? Joe |

thanks Joe B. , On the thin sheet a little propane will work but .125 and up gota use some heat . I got alumna flux at the hardware store made by forney and thought I give it a shot . you just got to watch the heat on the sheet , you'll warp it just like steal . It's hard for me to explain how , since I do it by feel

The Emaxx tranny is a beautiful thing. I use them for most of my trucks. Are you gonna keep the 2 speed or make it a single speed? There used to be a conversion kit that almost cut it in half and basically locked it in 1 gear. I think you can still get an aluminum tranny case for it as well. Make sure you don't over tighten the tranny mounting screws, they strip out easily.

Great Job P.S. I see a set of fenders in the back ground, I know someone that makes the proper mounts for them... ![]()
