hi all/redshift...will look into a splash fed box when i get my alloy casing , sounds like the best idea..
so what wheel shafts do you use on your maxx? mip's

i can see why you dont want to change over to bigger diffs, shame tho as it will turn out much better than before.. i found this with my work.. if you get it wrong you will get it right next time . i can say ive had several years of good running with my e maxx and its just getting better now brushless is available.

thanks for compliments on the work, when i first machined a cog the calculations looked confusing and i was not really sure what i was doing was right, like any job i suppose, now ive cut a few its easy. bearing in mind its just a copy job not a gear train from scratch. try it if you have the machinery, get the o.d right then its all down to cutting depth and correct indexing.

the beach is great.. they get a bullbozer down there and build up the sand to keep the water off the road when the wind gets strong in the winter. theres a quater mile streach of it see ya all...
