Default AR60 Portals?

Hi!
Where can I find portal boxes for the AR60 axles?
I know that RC4WD makes/made portals for them, but honestly I don't like them. I was looking for the TRX-4 type portals. I like that look better..
Thanks in advance!

The closest I have seen is R1 portal axles with AR60 knuckles

I know there will be someone hating on this but... integy makes portals for ar60 axles that I've been wanting to try. Integy has a bad rep but the few things we have bought for a bomber, wraith and ax10 so far have been well built, have a perfect fit and work great. One reason I haven't rushed to try them is because I can't find any info on whether they have the same size gears or if there is any reduction in gear ratio because that is what I am after although it seems like those paired with a droop setup would be pretty sweet. Anyway, just Google integy hi lift gearbox and they should pop up. They also sell complete axles with portals installed.

Worth noting on the RC4wd ones, they are terrible and break easy.

I had a Cvd break on flat ground. Also the shafts are weak and twist really easy.

No way are they worth there price.

Interesting! Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know these existed. They look great. Integy is hit and miss on quality. Some things they make are surprisingly good.

I'm not surprised. Low quality and overpriced can be said for a lot of things sold by RC4WD.

Couldn't agree more with the rc4wd ones being garbage, not to mention they ruined the turning radius. I'm sure the integy ones are crap too, cheap materials for axle shafts don't hold up.

If you're in the market for portals, sell the ar60's and look at the mst axles or the trx-4 ones.

Yup- no one has engineered decent portals for the Ar60s.it might be easier to widen trx4 or mst axles.

Front axle shafts are the real issue widening them.
