    easy answer, you can't. Replace the ball diff with the TA04 gear diff fitted to the low end TA04 tourers, to give you a pair of diff outdrives you can then bolt the Traxxas sliders on to. Lock up the gear diff first.

    Most crawlers just throw away the belt drive transmission and replace it with a Traxxas Stampede gearbox for better reliability and a pair of the proper outdrives.

    aw that's just great.... that mean ill have to make it happen then. Coz my budget is done for this crawler.

    That's going to look sweet.

    Sorry if I missed the post, but what happened with the JunFac Tracer?. They're not a bad conversion kit, but with the one I'm building, I fitted extension plates to the rear of the chassis, to put the standard body mounts in a usable location.

    The junfac Kit I would have bought from a guy in the states for $40, but he backed out.

    See im still on a budget, because I need to buy a new PC aswell. So ill have to make everything myself. Problem is:

    I fitted the steel rod reinforcement to my lower links last night and glued them in. But still everytime I press down on the car and stretch the suspension the threaded rod jumps out of the ball joint, normally the one on the axle's side.

    Any offers, coz iim getting fed up.

    2.5 inch http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...LXD244&P=ML

    4 inch http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXD242&P=7

    1.5 may be the shortest http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXD243&P=7

    all sizes in 1/2 inch increments to 6 I believe is the longest

    thanx bill ill look into that.

    @Ryan: how did you mount those, have you got pics?

    Thinking of the top of my head you will probably be best to mount the Body mounts out of the side plates horizontally.

    Here's a couple of pics from Twinsets Showroom always good for inspiration.

    and here's a link bound to be some more ideas in there.

    The first pic is of the mounts and the second shows the mounts coming out of the side of the shell

    this is how i would do it.

    Before you say that's not my chassis the principal would be exactly the same :-)

    where do i get posts like that? stright ones.

    i just cut myself to shreds using a drill bit, so please dont say, make them.

    BMT check my TLT a newby build thread here to see my crawler...

    Well, since it is a 'Cuda, I would think the color should look a bit more 'POW' than brown or beige...perhaps a metallic blue, then the black hood...and beige fender and primer-gray quarter panel....some mix like that. Some called them 'rats'...we called them 'roaches'. :D

    Make it 4wd or if you have to then glue two rims together and fit tyres, nice and wide. OR look at HPI's supersize rims and tyres for 1/10 scale cars. they are HOT!

    Extending the chassis will be as simple as the other guy said. use some Alu tubing to keep the 4wd and extend by using metal boxwork or cut a chunk from a cheap chinese tl01 rip off and use threaded rod to stabalise the chassis. and attach the three parts.

    you giving me ideas for my tl01 now....

    Tamiya 58124 Super Hornet for sale:

    Currently Dissasembled in a bag.

    All parts in good condition except tub has been heat bent by previous owners battery.

    New tubs are still available from Towerhobbies.

    Body is in awesome condition.

    Original Wheels and tyres.

    Includes brand new original sticker set for model.

    Make me a offer? I dont know how much this is worth.

    Hey, it's cool B)

    Well, it has the active front suspension (I can't remember what the official Tamiya name is for the upgrade), the little blue alloy shocker mount, ball bearings and turnbuckle tie rods. The diff gear is worn, so there is a new in packet diff gear set. Also, new in packet, is a set of genuine rear tyres (medium compound).

    Not in packet, but new, are 2 pairs of rear, and 1 pair of front foam "doughnuts" (need gluing to rims and truing down) and a set of the rubber F1 tyres on wheels, but they are pretty worn (not new). Also, there is the standard front end.

    Not pictured is the servo mount and servo saver (I'll have to go back to the garage for those :D ).

    If this is what you are looking for, and want to talk further, I will include a motor (let me know if you want standard or modified) and a pinion gear. If so, too, I do not mind if you keep your radio from the Pajero, and we swap "car only"... But we can talk further. Have a look at the photos, and PM or email me!.

    You got PM.

  15. Posted

    No, I realise your Pajero is good...

    I was saying my F103 has been raced, so it has scratches and stuff....

    I'll get pictures of it's chassis tomorrow. in case it is what you want B) .

    Oh sorry man I misunderstood :D

    Well send me pics, im very interested.

    Can you tell me what it comes with? Any upgrades? Where can i get a new non scratched chassis for it?

  17. Posted

    It means "not tip top show room condition" - or close enough, without getting a red card from the mods :) .

    It's ok, it has the hinged front end, and I have some new in packet parts. I'll take some photos for you, with the body off, and of my TA-O3Pro. There is a body on photo in my TC Showroom... Just click the little button at the bottom of this post, and I'll get back to you with some pictures :D

    .logo_member2.gif

    no no no

    the chassis is pristine, not missing one single part. NOT ONE!

    body is scratched as stated in the beginning of post.

    I just really want a nice f103 etc.

  19. Posted

    I'd say yes, but my F103 is a p.o.s.! :)

    Have a looksee, anyway.... and I'll throw in a tidy TA-03Pro.... I'll supply pics, if you're interested... Which I doubt!.

    where can i have a look at it and what exactly is "p.o.s"?

    some pics of the pajero

    since taking these I have rebuilt the chassis, relubing with tamiya lube, replaced all parts which were worn and cracked (there was any actually) and replaced the front body holder thingy, so you get some spares with it aswell.

    I want to swop my Pajero Metal Top Wide, complete.

    I restored the chassis.

    Body is complete, no mirrors but spare and spotligth still perfect.

    Body is scratched from a few rolls from the previous owner, but nothing that cant be fixed. Original Wheels and tyres fitted.

    I want to swop for a Tamiya F1 style car. F201? F103? F102? of the same value.

    Anyone interested? Im in south africa, so ill pay for shipping from my side and the swappee will do the same from theirs?

    Alright, yes i know it another post, but i just got to upload some pics. WOOOHOOOO shes starting to come together.

    Update: THe metal rod which will be used to brace my lower links were cut into 3cm sections and they are going to a friend today to get drilled out so the Threaded rod will go through it. Will keep you up to date

    Got body on friday (as a bday present)

    and started spraying on saturday. Took my time with light coats and i think the colour came spot on!

    Used Tamiya paints:

    Translucent Silver

    Gunmetal

    Black

    Sprayed 2 light coats of silver first then covered using gunmetal 2-3 coats. then backed using black 1 coat

    Used carpet knife (forgot my blades at home) and cut the protective film around the arches and front bumper and rollcage.

    Sprayed black on outside of body so give Mat effect.

    Hope you like (actually i dont care, coz i like)

    Keep in mind, body not mounted yet, because I dont know how to...

    So you got a dogbone connection on the TLT gearbox and you want to connect a traxxas shaft to it?

    I'm not familiar with the tlt gearbox so have just looked at the manual i cant see a simple way round it

    post-18200-1205496720.jpg

    PM Andy 'Twinset' he's well into his crawler's he might know, or know some little trick to get round it.

    neil

    What's an 'Ourdrive?'

    i cant see you pics at work :-( what axles have you got?

    surely those metal yokes fit straight on and you tighten the grub screws to secure.

    i know this is the case on tlt and hi-lift axles.

    neil

    aha now i realize why we got error in communication:

    ok TLT axles, steel yolkes and sliders already fitted to the axles side. I need to connect the other yokes to the diff/gearbox in the centre, outdrives ae the dogbone cups which come out of the ball diff in the centre (gearbox)

    ... :lol:

    NO WAY! :lol: awesome!

    what dimensions are they?

    sorry dude no idea of dimentions, but buy a Xmods bearing kit with some friends to cover the costs and itll be well worth it, search google for a tutorial on this, it might say the sizes.

    also on a tt01, the steering likes to bind in stock form. so when you install the stock steering make sure there is a washer or two between the tub and the steeing arms.
