WPL driveline....

Subject: WPL driveline.... Sat Jun 20, 2020 7:43 pm

I'm looking for a WPL Driveline.

Caveat is that I need a dual rear axle and two steerable axles and the motor/gearbox.

SO I'd look at a 6x6 and a spare front axle...

I'm looking to rebuild the old Water LAV III into something that can be used... And since this is a concept I do not want to break the bank on something that may die the first time it goes out in grass.

OK guys. I'm still looking for some driveline components... Specifically a steering axle...

I started the LAV conversion...

It will be an 6x8 vehicle. 6 drive wheels, and a pair of steering axles.

I have a full WPL cab and truck bed still in the plastic bags for trade/sale.

For starts Mike, you are going to need the motor gearbox upgrade. I kept smoking the motors on the stock set up just driving around in the grass. And that was just the 4x4. I may still have spare parts lying around from when I upgraded from the original axels as well.

would that be 1/10 scale axles with 1.9 tires or is it 1.55?

1/16 WPL axles. Tires measure closer to a 1.15" rim with a 2.65" OD tire.

Also the rims mount on a 5mm hex.

I have a ton of those tires and rims I will check for a front axle
