Will let the cat out of the bag a tad here. I have been looking into possibly a way to use Traxxes Rustler rear knuckles flip them side ways for steering. Rear knuckles use a C/V and can run a CVD to. Right now the C/V shafts that I have are no longer made and seams newer style is not in stock. So I don,t have a extra set to try yet. Stock is a 12mm mount. They make adapters to run almost any size wheel hex mount.

Need to the get Rustler out of the way and waiting for stock surplus of parts to come back on the market. This time of year, there is always a shortage of stock R/C hobby grade parts specially Tamiya and Traxxas. Have 4 projects in-line after the Rustler. 2 of them are long term projects. Counting on those 2 companies so I can get the parts for mock up etc. few of the parts might work on the Newbright with some work.

I always thought all we had was the Salvation army. I will have to show my wife and see if it is worth giving our stuff to the "Donate shop"

I did a fast search and found these.
