|  Axial's New Products.
Well, there are some new products out. The aluminum axle lockouts are a bit over priced, and I'm not to sure about the plastic ones. I think I would rather stick with my RCP lockout and straight axles. As for the slipper clutch it does not seem right to run a slipper on a crawler. I am hoping these lockers they have come out with will be much more durable, I guess we will see. Wheel hexes, hmmm I have never had a problem with mine, but maybe others have. I'm not sure if i will try the Axial lockers, I think I will wait for the boys over at RCP to come out with their steel lockers. (RCP ROCKS!) Either way I have to give it to Axial for trying to meet the wishes of the customers and how they keep improving this vehicle. They should sell a scorp with all of these upgrades that come with it.

Made from strong sintered metal. Sintered metal provides superior metallurgical characteristics and can be manufacuted with very tight tolerances. As an engineer all that says to me is it is Sinter forged at best. It COULD be stronger or weaker than stock, as 6061 billet is a decent material all in all. One benefit will be how it engages to the axle, sinter forging holds a better tolerance on odd shapes like the axle input hole than machining can. | |

The rear axle lockouts are the smallest on the market, after our last comp I still had scratches on mine so anything larger is only going to have less clearance. They will also work with the RCP stainless steel axles. The slipper clutch can be locked completely, the major benefit is the reduced gear wobble you get with the plastic gear holder. The locker is made from Sintered Metal which is a form of steel. It also helps to reduce some of the play you get in the drivetrain from the stock locker. Also keep in mind that the prices shown are list prices and will be comparably priced with competitors product out on the market now once they hit the street. Thanks, Axial |
