Thanks for the diagram Killer, Any chance you have any build-up pictures??? It would really help, I mostly just need to see the steering knuckles and how you made the u joints for all of it. Also, what kind of stock are you using for them, it looks like allen wrenches almost,lol, and lastly: how do you drill so SMALL!?
Thanks,
Brad

i use the u-joint design on the mikromodell site but instead of using a brass tubes i used the Tamiya Monster truck steel hex shaft, as for the tiny holes i used a 0.8mm drill bit installed in a mini-drill press.

here's the u-joint diagram from the mikromodell site.

and here's a close-up pic of the front axle..

Thanks a lot Killer! That will help tremendously, since I'm not equipped for that kind of small scalle stuff I'll just have to make 'em out of some super beefy round stock I have lying around, Thanks again Killer!

i recieved your e-mail, i sent you the answer but your account was full.. so i guess i'll post it here

the thick rod will not slip out because the thin rod prevent it, remember that the thin rod pass thru the thick rod, now if your talking about the slack that's the reason why we have to put the square thing in the middle.

[me and me lude]

ah of course!
thanks

ans: on my 1/35 txt-1 i used a two 130 type motor setup just like it's 1/10 counterpart..,but on my 1/35 rock buggy i used 1pc N20 type motor

if not how is the drive train set up?
ans: as for the 1/35 rock buggy gear train click here

i've also attached a drawing of how i placed all the gears on my 1/35 trucks..

Can you show me some better explanations of ythe front axle/rear axle?

ans:
i've posted some pics of the front axle on this thread, pleas do browse this thread a bit..

it works like the real front and rear axle of any 4x4 truck, but the difference is that all of my axles lack differentials or if we compare it on a 1:1 version it's called "spool ".


thanks for everything

i hope this helps

[killer]

this is my twin motor set-up..

hey killer have you ever thought of using an xmod diff. on one of your trucks. im not sure if a diff makes that much of a difference with a truck this small but its just a thought.
