strongest axles?

brianairgunhunter · Apr 26, 2013

Want to look into build a crawler, look on you tube under the name madram11 and you'll get the idea, won't be using a 454 but 4.0 v8 would be on the cards, by the look the diffs are welded or permanently locked, and locked into four wheeled drive, what axle can take this punishment Thats easily available

Theyre th opposite of crawling. They tear it up

Portals would do it

From looking at the American version they are pretty much the same but they just sit there with the wheels spinning not really going any where!

Portals dont seem to do well in rock crawling as they put a lot of strain on suspension links and are damn heavy if of the bigger mog capable of taking big power through a crawler box .
Personally I think the op may be talking nonsense

I would not call what madram11 does crawling, or skilful driving it's just full throttle at a hill, if it was actually crawling at slower speed the slower ratios and higher clearances would help, I understand the point about weight though as they weigh a tonne !!

Also yeah where are you going to find places to do this crawling OP ?

brianairgunhunter · Apr 27, 2013

Don't intend to drive like the Americans lol just the type of frame appeals to me as for places to go its handy when your mates work at the biggest quarry in the southwest

brianairgunhunter · Apr 27, 2013

Hey trax drunk the booze. I better not get a hangover lol

GINGE · Apr 27, 2013
