Yes, I really like it but; I don't own any cv joints or portal hubs (I use custom portal hubs) The wheels I use are a bit smaller than the unimog ones. Is it still possible to make a kingpin inclination with universal joints and custom hubs?

That would be 4 xl motors pushing it. [edit] never mind I thought you meant the 2 sets of rear wheels ':)

I've been really struggling to make a driven live axle with kingpin using 81.4 tires...

I done one one with an xl motor and an m motor very recently. I geared the xl motor 20-12t but one sure you could go 24-8t, mine weighed about 520 grams. :)

Wow this is gonna be awesome!

I think he's making a vehicle that can zero steer so there isn't any other way?

yes

I think you should have a link for each u joint and attach the links at the pivot points of the joints, if that makes sense. :P

Great! There are plenty of people here that can help!

Ever get bored of the usual live axle set up? Parallel steering arms and vertical kingpin axis? No advanced and interesting geometry & features? All this adds up to only a "decent performance". How can we improve our live axles? I decided to start this discussion to generate some ideas on how we can all make better live axles. Personally I'm very bored of the basic live axle set up and I would like to add in some interesting geometry to improve performance... [edit]: Things to discuss; How many links does your set up use? I'm stuck with [insert problem here] Use of differentials Universal joints vs. CV joints And other stuff I haven't thought of/ whatever you would like to discuss...

Make sure you brace gears properly! Also keep your models as light as possible. :)

Hmm I think I'll make; • Nissan Navara • 4 link crawler • Tow truck of some sort • A motorbike or 2 • Rally car • Some sort of crane vehicle • Supercar • And other stuff I haven't thought of yet...

Or the speed remote.

Really cute! Nice scale & it should perform well. :)

That's pretty cool! :) I have the speed remote too and I was wondering if I gave it an antenna would it work better (bigger range) with the stock pf receiver?

Please Turn Over? xD

I think the new ones are the best, you might wanna ask our TRIPLE contest winner ;)

The ones on the logging truck are the same size but I'm not sure what 8421 is, I agree with piterx.

Thanks for such a great contest Jim and a big congrats to the winners!! As soon as the contest was official I got to work, I really didn't know what to build at the time :P

Absolutely nothing!

I use studless in the axles because it is much more compact, but sometimes I make my chassis' partly studded because it is very rigid.

Great idea! I love the colour scheme and it looks like it'll function really well. :)

I think Zblj made tracks on his entry for the 9398 contest like you're thinking if Rm8. :)

Ok, I'm gonna go with front sprockets, thanks a lot for the info!!

I'm making a half track ATM! You may have seen my thread I started, I'll post WIP stuff there. :)
