Well i havent had much visual progress on the chassi,been scratching my head on the lower plate cutouts as well as the servo & motor mount designs, somehow it got carried away & it turned into an extremely heavy duty tranny.Iv heard the term bulletproof tranny tossed around but I think this one just might be the closest to it(for a maxx anyway)The input & output bearings are ofna 1/8 diff bearings so they wont be failing,The idler uses the larger bearings from the output shaft & Im thinking the factory plastic gear will hold up for the idler instead of the steel gear since there is an increase in mesh contact with the larger gears over the factory idler,If not than ill use the steel but i like the idea of reducing wear weight & noise from metal to metal.Plus it leaves the truck with a fusible link or cheap point of failure if something should go wrong.Iv been avoiding the center diffs since i didnt like the exposed gears or loosing the slipper so im going to have to do a side cover for the tranny(mayby just lexan or plexiglass)I still need to turn the bushings for the shafts to fit the bearings.
