Just be careful if you convert one of the rear axle.tondrive through. I found the extra torque of.the drive just keeps stripping the spline on the bevel plastic gear. I converting my 6x6 to run 3x n20 motors.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about that. I'm not intending this truck to be my heavy tank hauler. That's what my Bruder will eventually be for. But, I'm having trouble finding cheap Tamiya parts, so that project has stalled for now.

If you go to
http://www.banggood.com
they have the identical items for sale at £36.78 for both front and rear axles with Freepost.
The matching metal propshafts are sold out but they are expected to be back in stock in early May at roughly £6 a pair.
