Well in that you don't need the gearing to be as low, yeah. Duals or 4.7s aren't as important.

I remember reading something a while back about inchworm working to fix the problem with fluid draining into the back of the case, but I don't know what ever became of it.

so this is what i was thinking about doing to weld up the 3rds. I have seen other people do it this way but have never heard anything on how well it worked. What do you guys think?

mock up cardboard piece

joey0712 · « **Reply #34 on:** Sep 14, 2008, 09:40:21 PM »

Yeah definitely burn that sucker in. I tried to do mine "clean" with low settings to reduce warpage. It lasted about 1 burnout and 15 miles before it blew apart.

joey0712 · « **Reply #37 on:** Sep 14, 2008, 09:48:56 PM »

o ya haha i wasnt shootin for looks when i did mine... Its about as pretty as 6011 can get i love the stuff cuz its strong, but man it sure is ugly!!

AaronB · « **Reply #38 on:** Sep 14, 2008, 09:52:41 PM »

i was thinking about doing both sides just to make sure its beefed up

joey0712 · « **Reply #39 on:** Sep 14, 2008, 10:02:12 PM »

O yeah do both sides for sure..... Its not going to hurt anything. Just make her twice as strong.

AaronB · « **Reply #40 on:** Sep 14, 2008, 10:21:29 PM »

yup, will do

AaronB · « **Reply #41 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 03:39:44 PM »

this is what I ended up with. tapered the edges to get a better weld area. now i just need to make 3 more

joey0712 · « **Reply #42 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 03:41:50 PM »

Looks alot like what i did.... Keep it up man lookin good and strong!!!!!

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #43 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 04:01:26 PM »

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 04:12:25 PM »

aint she perty

joey0712 · « **Reply #46 on:** Sep 15, 2008, 09:10:49 PM »

Lookin good man!!! That isnt goin anywhere! The gears are pretty hard to weld to and make it look nice. Sweet work tho

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #47 on:** Sep 16, 2008, 08:34:40 AM »

that will do pretty means nothing.... ugly and strong just how I like it!

AaronB · « **Reply #48 on:** Sep 19, 2008, 10:18:19 AM »

well I screwed up on the third.

i put the plates too far down, so now when i try to put the axle shafts in they hit the plates.

I think I might just break down and buy spools

joey0712 · « **Reply #49 on:** Sep 19, 2008, 11:51:39 AM »

Ah dang!!!! Im sorry to hear that. What size plates did u use?

RABIDYOTA · « **Reply #50 on:** Sep 19, 2008, 02:10:22 PM »

3/8"

joey0712 · « **Reply #53 on:** Sep 19, 2008, 03:09:11 PM »

hm that is the same size i used... U must have made one kinda small so it went down to deep that sucks!

yotakid707 · « **Reply #54 on:** Sep 25, 2008, 11:37:16 AM »

u can take a die grinder and grind down the plate a little bit so the axle shafts go in or take a little off the axle shafts that way you wont have to get a new carrier and spools

AaronB · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 04, 2008, 11:19:06 AM »

th350 to toy transfer case

AaronB · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 07, 2008, 05:08:35 PM »

AaronB · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 11, 2008, 05:00:59 PM »
