Juggernaut 1...

I'm looking to make an offroad truck and wanting to use Jugg axles, as i have a transfer case and a motor with a reduction unit sat here.

I'm wanting to it to have lots of torque. I have seen a couple of Jugg 1 axles for sale, were the axles themselves a problem or just the gearbox?

Also, will Clodbuster hubs/knuckles fit the Jugg axles?

Thanks,

Joe

the main problem was the input gear into the top of the axle - there was no gear reduction, so any resistance at the wheels wrecked the axles at the drive input

Upgrade axles have '2000' moulded into 'em

Pretty sure the steering knuckles fit though, there's a 'TXT' drive stub issue, but I think that's more to do with the wheel plate (disc with 5 holes) than anything - If you use Clod wheel plates you can use 100% Clod parts

Done some digging

Clod hubs will fit the Jugg axles. TXT axles are slightly longer to allow for a fatter hub. I'd look around for battered Jugg2 with a trashed shell. It will be cheap enough and have the stronger transmission.

Legends, cheers :-)

So am i best off getting Jugg 2 axles? Is there any way to upgrade Jugg 1 axles, or were the axle casings changed too?

Not sure about this, but I suspect by the time you've bought all the relevent bags to convert the axles to Jugg2 it will probably be cheaper to buy a whole second hand Jugg2.

Another thing to be aware of is the fact that TXT-1 axles and centre transmission differ from the Jugg2 items. The output shafts for the centre drive shafts are 6mm diameter on the TXT-1, but only 5mm on the Jugg2 (This goes for the centre trans and the axles). I don't think there's a strength issue with the Jugg2 items, it's just worth knowing that it's a pain to try and mix and match TXT centre box with Jugg2 axles and vice versa. I believe one of the gear bags with the output shafts in is normally around the £24 mark.

Thanks for all the info.

I will pass on the Jugg1 axles as im wanting the truck to have lots of torque and pulling power, so it sounds as though the axles won't be too keen on playing their part!!

Might havr to sell one of my Clods to fund a new purchase...
