Adventures in Driveline – The 9398 Hub Assembly

We are in the process of acquiring a number of different parts for our intended MOCs.

The above is something we put together using new parts based on the 4x4 Rock Crawler's driveline setup (9398).

Note the incorrect pin that sticks out from the hub.

Um, we don't have a 4L axle with stop at the moment. It is somewhere between here and Germany. ;)

The U-Joint used in the above assembly is the older 4L version. According to Pawel "Sariel" Kmiec's comments in his book The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide (we have the electronic version for now) the newer version U-Joint is actually 3L but composed of stronger materials.

He mentions that the 3L version is actually a lot easier to use in LEGO Technic setups.

For now, we have constructed our first LEGO Technic axle and hub assembly and are happy with the results.
