Hard to tell from the photo if the shafts are supported by bearings or bushes. Definitely looks like something in there though, so even a bush could be swapped out for a bearing if there was a problem. Berg offset wheels may not agree with the added bulk at the hub however. |

Well I ordered a set last night. I need a little clearance anyways as I have droop setup with my shocks. My axial drags its guts over some rocks. The steering set up wont bother me as I dont have my rods on the outer side of the diff. My tie rod runs on the back side. A full custom set up on the front and rear diffs with 4ws. Works very well. Do I have to take a heap of pics and post em up???  |

I saw those down at the hobby shop. Interesting idea for sure. Wierd that they come as a set of four steering knuckles instead of lockouts for the rear. I was toying with the idea of powder coating them black and using them in a unimog scaler. |

be cooler if you could get a 1:1 for the front and the 1.6:1 for the rear. might could just swap out the big gear in the front, and run 2 little gears for 1:1 if they release spare parts.

Stupid question, but I have to assume it's $50 pair, right? It's not clear on the site - and 3Racing occasionally has insanely low pricing on some items. If it's $50 for a set of 4 ea, I'm all over 'em.

Unless those are radial bearings on both sides of those gears, I don't think those knuckles will last very long.  Kevin |

QUOTE=Harley0706;1823354]Since they have reduction of 1.6:1 you have to run them all the way around. Also since they are a 2 gear they will reverse your rotation so again you have to run them all the way around. Have to go back to old school link type lockouts or fashion some FUBAR style lockouts that we use on the berg.[/QUOTE] On a Axial flip the rear axle over, shave the old mounting towers and make some type of new mount for the upper links. With the three different R&P that can be had mix and match to get the gearing right. |

So how come run it on the back only? I would have thought that extra clearance under both axles would be more advantageous? |

You can steer the front diff around the rock but the rear ends up where it ends up. | |

Gotcha. Guess I didn't see the advantage 'cause here we can steer the back axle around too.

Those gears sure look small. like to know how they will hold up. Not worried about the bushings other than losing alittle friction loss. Just kinda think the clearance gain isn't worth the cog loss. The extra gears may help torque twist though. Interesting???????????????????
