Nightcrawler axles?

Messages

Might try to swap out the axles on my gen 1 barrage for some night crawler axles that i have from my nightcrawler that's partially broken and barely ever used, and i'd like to put it to use. I snapped the axle shaft on my barrage from pure torque (will post pics later) because of a team associated motor and some decently sized rc4wd tsl swampers. Any tips or help you guys think i might need? first time conversion for something like this. Thanks for any further contribution.
 
Hey guys, just got started with things tonight. This might work, might not work. Still figuring out the kinks. But it does look like it’s possible. Will update probably tomorrow

Hey guys, just finished up the work for today. Got the front axle mounted, now I’m just working on the linkage and driveshafts. Some of the driveshaft bolts are stripped and that’s the only thing really holding me back. This is working a whole lot better than I thought.

hey Guys, forgot to post any updates but I had barely done anything very important. Got 7 hours of work in and basically finished it, just figuring out the kinks. But now I would believe I have one of the baddest barrages out there. Almost wanna build a simpler one, kinda just like a mud truck or something. If the money is right, I will. Thanks for reading this build, feel free to post your barrages here, I’m interested in the community’s builds.

Still the stock barrage transmission? Did you use the stock driveahafts? I'm thinking about doing this swap on my ladder frame temper.

I could see the stock barrage transmission being done with a 540 motor or something with motor power but stock does not have enough power to be reasonable. Full throttle is incredibly slow and loud. As for driveshafts, I was able to use the barrage ones.

So you used the nightcrawler transmission I'm assuming?
