When I read the title, I thought "what an idiot, the ZZMT is solid axle"

Looks good...and, apparently you got a whole hell of a lot farther than I did when I tried to make an axle housing.

How did You make it so it can steer and at the same time have the front wheels spin?

I used the insides of a zzmt. It works essentially the same exact way. Mine just has a brass housing.

thats so frickin' rad, can you post up some more detailed pics of the steering?
Thanks

How more detailed can I get?

I don't have a body that fits this wheel base and looks scale. I may just fab a roll cage and make this a micro comp crawler.

Man those axles are sweet!

If you kept width about stock, then depending on what your wheelbase needs to be, those would look perfect on a 1/25 Suzuki Samurai/Jimny. 1/35 millitary models would be another GREAT source of bodies, Jeep, Unimog, or HMMWV would look wicked.

What driveshafts are those?

Here's a cool 1/32 Tamiya Isuzu MU, on ebay.

Do you know what the wheel width is on those 1/32 models?

Those yokes are from a duratrax miniquake. You can buy a whole set of them (8) on towers for like 8 bucks.

.

what are you using to hold the inner gears/axle in place? I bought some tubes today to try to build my own...

Actually, I'd be interested in that myself, I'm guessing plastic bushings?

Had a little brainstorm on these. Would be sweet to use 2 front axles and raise the diff in the center like this

The dog bones are there any way so why not? You'd have to run the pinions on opposite sides to get the axle rotation right but with u-joints in the drive shafts it could work.
