actually a worm gear can back drive.....iv done it:wink:

but oyur right on a rig like this, you can do some precision driving. But i really hope the casing is tough! cuz worm gears are rough on housing

That kyosho model is nice, would like to see a price though. Hopefully it won't be typical kyosho and cost a ridiculous amount of money though.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Amain has the Rock Force in stock and i don't think it's that bad of a price. And they have a 10% off deal right now.

I have a design for the axial crawler to use worm drive. I was going to use steel for the tubes and center section, mainly cause I can weld (and have a $1700 welder) plus they will be very sturdy, can be made more compact, and the weight is where crawlers need it, low. Also the steel parts should hold together better under the load of the worm. I will need some big bearings, and plan to offset the gears to alow for better servo mounting. Plan to use stock axial c hubs and knuckles. Axles may be custom, or I will integrate some sort of existing cvd axle.

Damn, since the Australia dollar is down to 64cents, im going to have to skip the rock force for now :whip:
