@Jimbobjr ... Curious question, have you tried to put the Corally diffs and pinions into the Arrma bulkheads ????🤔
No I haven’t, but will give it a go next time I’m in the garage. Corally does use a larger input bearing (less side to side play with the larger races and balls...), and the gears are definitely bigger (ring is wider, input has more teeth and wider surface area) than Arrmas rtr. With the easy access diff the Arrma s are limited on how big the ring can be. I don’t have an exb diff, those gears look bigger/stronger than corally but sadly they have that tiny bearing in front.

The corally difs will not fit in the arrma housing. The arrmas do fit the corally but are very tight. Gear pitch (teeth per mm or inch) is the same but the land is .02" wider on corally. Input has 13t on corally to 10 on arrma. Arrma dif in pics is on right and standard rtr.

You just wouldn't believe how much time I've put into making this thing....Suspension mounts are done as well as the shock towers. Now I have to make body mounts and work some bugs out. Not sure about a wing. I can always add a tekno mount dtr. I might use typhon shocks instead of these...Heres a few lame pics. Once it's done I'll try and post a video but I really struggle with that.

Going to have two bodies for this. Vorteks fits perfect but the ford is just ok. I left the doors long to cover up more of the side. The tubs are from an outcast with around 1/4" cut off the top and shortened. Then I heated and bent the ends to give a little extra protection.

Thanks so much guys. This was a fun build, lots of 🤔 involved with a lot of unforeseen issues coming up. Pretty pleased with the results.
The ford body will get painted this week. I think I want to make some roof skids and inner support for it. They are so brittle, I always punch the towers through so I might just paint up that body and use it for the shelf in the shop. It’s not quite interchangeable with the vortex body. The front post need to be raised a little or it sits a little front heavy.
This truck is so tiny. It’s around the size of the granite or traxxas stampede. Fits on the front seat of the car, turning radius sharp. Once I make the bumpers I’ll weigh it.
 
Made a video today. Hopefully you'll find it worth watching. Couple things to add is the side tubs are outcast cut down and drilled to fit the chassis. (Usingthe corally tubs make it way too wide) Wheels and tires are proline badlands with offset 17mm hex adapters. I miss speak in the video, the esc is a max8. Sorry for the quality of the video, hopefully the quality of the build will make up for it.
Extra credit if you know who's playing at the beginning. And no, it's not Jimi Hendrix...

Anyway, the guitarist is Robin Trower...album was Bridge of Sighs, song is Too Rolling Stoned...

Bumpers/skids are finished. 4mm kydex. Just have to paint the ford body and might try the typhon shocks instead of these. Pretty under spring imo.

All done, painted the ford body and buttoned everything up. May fool around with the esc and pinion. To use the ford body I just raise the post a little.
Little disappointed in the weight. With the bad lands its 8.5lb. around 8 with 6s typhon katars. I could remove some material on my aluminum mods, from experience it wont make much difference.
Some pictures with it compared to the trugified typhon with the k4s body.

Again amazing build @Jimbobjr really liking the blue and white Ford body 🤩
I really like the 66 ford body too. The paint looks better than the pics. It’s a little too narrow for the build because of the step side rear fenders. The c10 1/10 body might fit better. Vortex’s body fits to perfection, ride height and wheelbase look just right.
 
That stinks it's too narrow but hey perfect shelf body for it🤩 I bet the C10 body would look really good also. Surprised the Vorteks body fits but the Ford body is too narrow.
