Drivershaft, a bit of progress

It's been a while from my last post but I have made some progress with the driveshaft. I don't have a deadline for my project so I don't have any rush either :-)

OK let's cut the bullshit and get in business. So now the driveshaft is almost ready. I have made the joint to the other end and put some paint on it. It was a tricky challenge to make a 3mm cube and put two axles through it and one of those axles had to go also through the other. The fitting could have been a bit more precise but anyhow I did it and the joint is fully functional. I made those axles of two screws. The bigger one was a 3mm screw which I slimmed down to 2mm. I drilled a 1,25mm hole through the screw and made M1,6 threads to it and then put a M1,6 screw through the hole. Well maybe the pictures tell better what I mean. Next big challenge will be the rear differential. We'll see what's going to happen with that.
