Yota44 Evo3

This axle housing is used to upgrade the RC4WD Yota 2 axles to RC4WD D44 C-hubs and Knuckles and get above 45 degrees of steering - on your leaf sprung truck!


You will need a donor  RC4WD Yota 2 axle and some parts of a D44 axle:

With this axle the width is the same as with stock Yota 2 axles. Due to the narrow leaf spring mounts you get better steering. The leaf mounts are exactly 14mm narrower than on a stock Yota2 axle.
The mods on the frame side for narrower leaf springs can be seen here:

The design also allows to put the pumpkin on the side you want.
The XVDs have to be cut and flattened for the right length!
The shocks can be mounted with parts from a RC4WD 4link kit or custom made parts.


If you have any questions fee free to ask!

EVO3 Updates:

• Space for 5x8x2.5 mm bearings in the C-hub
• recesses to use the stock differential cover when flipping the axle (previously you needed to use the ARB cover or drill those recesses yourself) 

Deutsch:
Mit dieser Achse kann man seine RC4WD Trialfinder 2 (yota 2) Achse auf mehr als 45 Grad Lenkeinschlag und mehr Standfestigkeit aufrüsten. Die Achse sieht dann nimmer noch recht schlank aus, hat es jedoch ordentlich in sich.
Dazu verwendet man Differentialzahnräder, 3rd Member und Differentialdeckel von der Trialfinder Achse und Knuckles, C-Hubs und Antriebswellen von der RC4WD D44 Achse. 
Durch die schmäleren Montagepunkte für die Blattfedern kann man den vollen Lenkeinschlag ausnutzen. Hierfür muss man die Blattfedern am Rahmen genau um eine Blattfedernbreite weiter innen montieren.
Bei Fragen stehe ich gerne mit Bildern bereit.
