I'll watch this! I like the axles. How do they hold up. I am assuming there are aluminium spools inside the casings. How do the gears inside there do? If ya know!!

Exactly what the problem is on the PTI, that's why I asked. I have issues in my Nitro TC. Let along in a bound up crawler with killer Brushless torque.

Sorry Unimog for gumming up the thread. I think the axles are sweet. This is going to be a nice build!

Ben, I hope you like the chassis and it works well for ya this is going to be a saweet build asshole...

Racer4life-You have to run a slipper on your tranny with these axles...It will help save your gears and CVD's...

And I have only seen 1 gear set strip in these axles...They are AMAZING, I have a set waiting for a chassis

Thanks I consider myself lucky to have the axles, Mike and I talked many moons ago about a set for me someday and last week, that someday came true. I also feel lucky to have gotten a chassis, these fat-dogs are a work of art.

Is it just me, or are those axles just begging for a torsion chassis? Grind the Link Tabs off out by the knuckles, fab up a nice BTA steering setup... never mind, they look fantastic with that chassis.

Yes, they do run plastic gears, but they're not weak.

If you bind it up hard with brushless power, you will strip them. However, why bind the rig up that hard? If it's bound up hard enough to strip the gears, it's not a situation where you're going to drive it out anyways? I'm all for testing the limits so you can see how hard you can push the rig before it will break, but after you know, you wouldn't keep breaking it just to break it, right?

As for the solution to the "problem," run a tranny w/ a slipper. Lock the slipper down nice and tight so that it only slips right before the axles would break. That's what pretty much everyone locally running these axles does. It works too. I've seen more broken CVD bones with these axles than I have ring and pinions. I don't know if that's because they're the weak point torque-wise or if it's because they get bent on a hard tumble and then snap at the bend via torque...but they've proven to be the "weak link" in the drivetrain.

That said, everyone who runs the axles absolutely loves them and considers them to be worth every penny they cost. I want to pick up a set one of these days...if I ever find money...
