Stretched e-Muggy (Baja-style) Build Thread

Edit... I thought i had commented on your vid already... Your extended truck is jumping very nicely... Horrible when the tumble though isnt it... :) Are you going to be investing in the new castle ESC when its comes available???


i know what you mean about destroying bearings in the axles... One of mine fell apart the other day and i couldnt get the outer rim of the bearing out of the carrier! Was so annoying... how would you add another bearing without shortening the drive shaft and extending the axle? Really interested if you can come up with a fix... I was going to do a big boca bearing upgrade, but considering the stress put on the axles i would prefer to change the axle/hub bearings with cheap ones as they wont last long....

You bulkhead issue, i have realised due to the extra length of the chassis, a lot more stress is put on bearings, and more movement is found in the bulk heads. I have carried out you idea but it only last so long. Some GH Bulks are my next upgrade. Expensive, yes... keep my diffs protected and bearings free from stress, yes... I think its a necessary upgrade now... smething i have been trying to avoid in adding weight and cost.
