If you have anything that might be of interest please let me know.

Thanks

I got a BD I could part with. Where are you?

[Sillyoldfox]

I have now sourced the components to build a BD, but if you want to PM me with details of what you've got, I might be interested.

Thanks

Sorry to hijack your thread but if you happen to have an extra set of rear axles for a SBF/KBF/BD, I am in the market…

iirc, the BD uses the Blitzer Beetle diff design, so does it also use the same outdrive cups and drive shafts?

@Sillyoldfox, if you now have the parts, could you measure a BD drive shaft end to end in mm? Might not be the same as the Blitzer though, due to the BD being a Monster Truck with different geometry .

Unfortunately I haven't taken delivery of all of the parts yet, some are still en route!

Similar but slightly different???  (Blitzer = 12595039, Bushy D = 12595082)

I wonder if they measure up the same, but somehow have different part numbers???

The Blitzer rere drive shafts measure in at 77mm, so if we can get a BD measurement from @Sillyoldfox when they arrive, then we might be onto a winner here @Frog Jumper mate👍

I checked the King Blackfoot as well, and that has 70mm drive shafts, but I think the arms and hubs are quite different on that truck when compared to the BD.

 Thanks for the info but im looking for the rear axles/cups, not the dogbone/shafts.

Oh I see, I don't think I've ever heard anyone call the outdrive cups 'axles' before. I reckon you'll have more chance of the BD cups being the same as the Blitzer Beetle anyway, due it sharing the same diff design, that's iirc, I may be wrong there.

They're referred to as axles in the build manual (bush devil) as per the image.

Super Blackfoot is the only cross reference I can find, King Blackfoot may be the same, but the item reference is different.

Not sure where OP is based, but THIS seller on eBay ships worldwide.
