WOW! Thanks guys! Glad you boys are liken the build so far.
Those diffs are all aluminium & the drain plug is stock. The only problem is there a tad wider than the Tamiya diffs but found ways around that. sk1cent,the exspanded metal is from pmd & works rather well for this build. Tiny-trucker,the framing wasn't to bad to make,but figuring how to make it come off & on the truck was a different story. Really wish I had some new progress to post on this baby.But since this forum opened haven't done dittle on my builds.So hope'in this week I can get back on my building again. Later today I'll do up some pics of the ramp locking system,& the sizes of the square stock used for car hauler. Thanks guys! FGD |

Yea Ed,I think you were one of the first guys I saw useing these babies.Had the truck driveline done,& started installing the mud guards & quarter fenders. When I noticed the diff was like a 1/4" wider than the stock ones.
![]() Couldn't hog out enough of the rim to make up the differance,so also turned hexes down a tad & still was a little wide.So then came up with the ole-spings in mud guard mounts. Now you really have to look to see there just a tad to wide. Yea there to wide for dualls,& to narrow for super singles to look right on the rig.Can't believe rc channel didn't think of that when they made these axles. But there still bad to the bone! FGD |

I also saw that they were to wide. I haven't found a solution to the problem yet but I am going to get a set of Scale Art axles. I think some material can come off the inside of the axle were the bearings are I don't know how much. I f you look at the housings the cap on the end is pressed on and that may be a way to shorten them. Ed

Great work so far and really unique truck. I've seen pictures of "Toters" haul a pilot car, but never on the roof with front loading ramps.
So what car do you plan to carry? I imagine you'll have to modify the car speeds to really slow it down so you can drive it up there. Looking forward to your updates. Brian |
