Maxx 3.3 Steering Blocks

[coolhandcountry]

What kind of chassis you plan to run gustav? I like that set up.
What did you make the out drive shafts from?
I was thinking of the 1/8 diffs but wasn't sure how to get them working properly. I not sure the power I going to run right off either. Nothing to major. Only 4s lipo is the plan as well.

Well i cheated and just used a pair of chopped e-maxx tranny output shafts,i could have machined them myself but it was just easier since they have the right part to attach to the sliders already, so i didn't have to worry about getting the slider yoke to spin true.

I just took them down to the right length in the lathe and drilled the holes with the pillar drill.Just lots of careful measuring needed to work out the length of the shaft and the distance between the holes.Could just be done with a dremel/hacksaw and a bench drill.

The chassis is alu g-maxx,going to try the short wheelbase at first.Never had a maxx before.

I think Im a little slow today... :002: I'm not quite getting how the short extensions you made attach to output shafts of the diff. What do the short extensions attach to?

[Gustav]

They are the outdrives themsleves,1/8 diff have the bevel gear seperate from the shaft,the shaft and drive cup are one piece on 1/8 diffs.

3.3 stub axles would have worked perfectly if they were a little bit longer.

Edit;
I've just realised something,the stub axles ARE exactly the perfect length for these diffs,the holes are already the exact right distance apart (these are LST diffs BTW) DOH! So basically all you need are a pair of LST diffs and 4 of the stub axles,cut off the threaded part and you're good to go,ready made outdrives to attach sliders to 1/8 diffs!

I made a new set from stub axles,they fit the sliders better.Now to rebuild the diffs i just built yesterday:007:
