Re: Driven front axle options?
I'm planning on building my Volvo as 4WD. For the front axle I'll be trying this:
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120531 Or buying a German unit already built. Seeing the pics Fhhhstix posted though, a standard TLT axle looks to bring the front axle width out to match the outer rear tires, so even a slightly narrowed TLT should look pretty good. |

Re: Driven front axle options?
Thanks Thorsteenster, narrowing the TLT1's would be cool!
Where would I get the TLT axle C's?

So I was looking at the diff parts, and I don't see why the same couldn't be done with the side gears. Cut the axle shaft to length, drill out the splines in a side gear so the axles just slides in and drill/crosspin right behind the back of the gear. When assembled the diff case looks like it should keep the pins in place w/o having to press them in too tightly and you could easily narrow both sides. I have an extra diff set, I think I may give this a try. I'll have to get a better bit though, or a pilot bit I think they're called, and figure out what size, I should be able to use the TLT hex pin.
