Question T-Rex 60 Plastic Axles?? Anyone Using Them?

I am looking at the RC 4WD T-Rex 60 plastic axles for my next build and I am wondering how they are working out for people. And what kind of 4 link they are using on them?


I am going to be building up a Hilux with a mix up of parts to make a scale but very capable 4x4.


Thanks for the info, Heathen

I will be as soon as a couple of small parts that were missing from my Diablo 2 kit get here.

I just put them under my mounty. Haven't ran them yet but used their mounts and modified them for my use...

Once you get some time on them please report back. I like your front bumper.

I got a bunch of time on mine under my Timberwolfs. No issues at all. They now send Aluminum mounts instead of plastic. That took care of any issues I have heard.

I've got a set on my leafed scale truck, and a set on my 4-linked Diablo. I strongly suggest getting their upgraded aluminum knuckles, but other than that, grease 'em, and run 'em hard. No issues otherwise with them that I've had.

Search Timberwolf here on the forum for my thread. I also have video running the crap out of them.

Here it is!

They seem to be a good axle. You have to buy the aluminium knuckles though... Mine both broke just during my build sitting on my bench.
