I like solid axle trucks and decided to built up a twin force. Bought this truck from E-bay and received it in the mail on Wednesday. The object of this project is to build a VERY FAST solid axle truck. I've installed and ofna center diff,custom steering and aluminum battery tray. The battery tray and motor/diff assembly can be removed from the truck with just 4 bolts each. The truck seems to be light. RTR weight with the stock tires/wheels and no batteries is around 8 1/2 pounds. light weight wheels and tires will decrease weight by 1/2 pound.

Here is a few pictures. The start!

Thank you,
Promod

Last one. Still need the custom driveshafts and a few other things. The driveshafts are being made by Bill at RCalloys. He makes a very strong driveshaft and makes them quickly.

Thank you,
Promod

Thats thing is going to haul on a 12XL. How many cell's are you planning on running?

I hope you keep the pictures coming throughout the build. I would be interested in how the finished product turns out(lookin' great so far). I am very curious just how fast you can get it going!

To start with 6 Kokam 3200's and if everything works ok than 9 Kokams.
I will keep everyone updated on the progress of this truck. The driveshafts will not be here untill next week. I did lock tight every thing,polished the steering links,put 100,000 oil in the center diff,and make a new aluminum motor mount with a small brace.

Thank you,
Promod

Looks awesome! This will be a great basher, I'm sure!
First TF I've ever seen with a center diff. This truck has alot of potential, tons of room for inventive mods such as your diff.

Great! Two thumbs up:cool:

hey guys, just wondering if the pics to this truck are still available. i really wanted to see what a center diff int he twin force was like. i have a twin force that i am modding the crap outta right now, and wanted to make sure it would handle the power im gonna throw at it.

Nope. When the forum server crashed a year or so ago, all the attached pics (uploaded to the rcm server) went bye-bye.

The twinforce didnt have a center diff, it had a chain driven center tranny unit. Very beasty so far as I know, so it should hold up to BL just fine I believe- there are more twinforce threads around with pictures, so its worth digging about a bit more

But Promod was one of the first people to begin retrofitting center diffs into vehicles which normally accommodated transmissions

. This Twin Force did, in fact, have a center diff.

thanks for the reply, i am aware of the twin force tranny as i have had one for about a year now. i just wanted to see how he incorporated the center diff into this thing. I have the twin force Spirit edition with the CF side plates. i am converting it to a 4 link suspension system and also have a some ideas on other things i would like to do to it.
putting a center diff in was something i never thought of, but if it adds some sort of driveability to the chassis, then i will look into it.

thanks again

Haven't heard from Promod here in quite a while, I bought one of his TF's last year. He had two of them that he sold, One was an Xtreme CF chassie'd with a center diff and was used in the vids for the 50MPH on 4s thread. The one i got was a new era extended chassie'd with center diff, I wish i could have got the other one as well. I ran mine with a 2250/10t and an MGM 16018, even with a leaking diff, it would hit the wheelie bar hard. I am currently looking for the part i need to fix it, Its the right rear outer diff hub, once i get that part I can play with it again.

Here are some pics of mine, not sure if they are of this one or not
