| C10 Chevy with Shapeways narrow axles
I'm not sure how this is gonna turn out, but here goes. I already have a built scx with a ram body but wanted something that looked more scale. I have a set of Shapeways axle housings on the way. They are 25mm narrower than stock which means each axle shaft needs to be 12.5mm shorter. I hope I don't screw this up.. First step |

Nice and narrow. Should almost have the stance of a real one..not tires that stick out a foot. |

Yup, kuddos for taking the custom route and making the axles fit the body. Wheel/tire and axle width combo is perfect. Any issues when assembling the axles? |

Other than that everything was a perfect yet snug fit. They did an excellent job creating the axle housings. They are very lightweight. Very accurate printing. | |
