Who's DIGing it???
#1
So after watching Mnster and his Bro rule the comp with DIG, who else is building a system and how are you doing it?

Im using a modified version of this: Front Dig By Miniwheeler The Hoopty Builder - Oregon R/C Rock Crawlers
I simplified it allot (can do a build thread if anyone needs)

pretty basic, just 2 male Maxx shafts with a rod connecting them, 1 female maxx cut down with a couple of spring spacers glued it and a slide collar made out of spring spacers and brass/JB weld...it still has a bit to go (been spending too much time working on a tuber) I eliminated allot of the complicated linkages etc. When I build the second 1 Ill take pics along the way.

Locks the rear tires and disengages the driveshaft (equivalent of pulling the e-brake in a front wheel drive car) it allows the driver to get on the gas and turn the front wheels, which then pivots on the rear axle (really tight turning pretty much).

Aw crap, looks like I started another trend.

Mine is just the basic miniwheeler design.

Whew...2 nights later, I have a complete dig setup!!!! Big Grin
Thankfully I kept my reverse servo from my revo a long time ago because it came in handy! I'll post pics later, though it is basically that one posted in this thread.
