Currie F9? Rockjocks? SSD Diamond Axles?

[Col_Sanders]

I love the looks of the SSD D60 axles but they do get hung up a bit more than the stock SCX housings. Their rock shield diff cover would probably help with that though. I'm about to start another build and I am probably going to use the ottsix TKO-10 housings.

I have the ssd diamond rear axle. After running 2 packs thru it on some trailing and crawling I love it. Very nice product for the price.

That way you'd have more shaft flat in lockers and even be able to use a VP locker w setscrews. My answer was that their shafts meet the same specs as axials so bugger off we don't care about fitting some other companies part... Well. Ok then.

Mike, I've recently viewed a thread or two in which folks were asking VP to produce a delrin slider for the Currie 9's. The individuals posted a pic of the SSD skid/delrin piece as an example for VP. I agree that VP's axles are amazing parts but wanted to put this info out.

Yea the new f9 looks like an anchor too.

Edit-- and I still think the question to make longer shaft flats to the center is an excellent idea for any locker. Just in my case I had a vanquish. Should of worded it different. Longer flats going to almost touching in the center gives more contact patch in any locker.

I have owned several sets of curries and loved the look. My current set up's consist of 3 fully loaded sets of D60's (SSD) and a new set (still in box) of the TKO's and trusses. I'm holding out on the ottsix axles until Dan releases his revised brass tubes for them. I have been considering a set of F9's or SSD 9's but am holding off until VP releases a 3-link and slider and SSD releases a front scx version. It comes down to what you want brother.
