Oshkosh trucks

[Snochaser]

I started to look at the drive terrain and it appeared I'd have $450 just in axles, aarrgg! Then the tranny, haven't looked at wheels, tires ect. yet. I'd like to have it dump also and maybe hydros for the plow.

Ouch. What kind of axles are you looking at? If Tamiya, you could just buy a truck off E-Bay and take what you need from it. Or buy used axles from other guys on the rock crawler / scale 4x4 forum - front axle. Tamiya now offers TLT-1 axles, complete. Unless you are looking for metal axles, like RC Channel's?
