For the spindle I decided to use some 3/8" 6061 aluminum rod I had. I turned down one side to fit the 5x10 bearing, drilled and tapped both ends.

Finished spindle and idler gear.

The clear motor plate allowed me to check alignment of everything. Once everything looks good, I will use the clear plate as a template to transfer the mods to the aluminum plate.

lining up the idler gear and spindle. I found a 18T idler allowed me to use the upper motor mount hole for mounting.

Spindle allows plenty of room for the belt.

Everything installed, once I verify the alignment I will use the clear plate to transfer mods to the actual aluminum motor plate. I need to add another slot for the 2nd motor screw.

Thanks, but I stole the idea from Marcus.

I wouldn't want that on my conscience, but let me do some actual track testing to see how it holds up and performs before you start cutting anything, lol.

Cool work shark

Added a third slot to hold my Tekin Pro4 motor. Used the clear template to get it lined up.

Spindle held by a 3mm flat head set in a countersunk hole to ensure it does not move.

H8B, thanks.

A few more pictures.

Test fitting in a spare rear chassis to be sure everything fits.

very nice work Shark!

Hey guys, are there any recent mods that are must have? I had to put my sc10 4x4 down for over a year now and Im looking to get back in it. The last I knew was Mantis' 2 stage shocks and cdiff which I have V1. I also have saddle packs and the center brace. Once i get up and going again I'll got to the new version of the cdiff, V2 or V3 if its out.

First stab at the V3 Mod1 48t spur gear! THIS IS JUST A PROTOTYPE!!!
The outside ring is a dust shield for the balls, it will not completely seal off but will help in keeping dust out.
Also note that there is no center bearing on this particular one , i still need to do some testing, its a long drawn out process but the end result will be nice!

Anyone have a good starting point for the M2C pistons for hard packed, smoothish clay?

what all do you have and what conditions do you run in?

The latest hot thing to do if your tractk conditions warrant is to go with an ultra lite setup with a shorty lipo up front.

Shark would be a good person to look at his mods to see what is all involved.

9Turn might. give him a jingle.

Wow, I didn't think Wysocki would get the boot that quick! :lol:

that was impressive!!
What an idiot.........
