Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Installation was smooth. Everything fit well except (as some have mentioned) the inner bearing was super tight. I had to sand a bit in one axle. I just pushed harder and fought more on the second until it popped in.

I had picked up the ARB diffs a while back; but, I have been waiting to install since I thought I would eventually end up with these axles.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Hey shawns303, i was wondering if i could get some info on exactly what mods you had to make to fit the ar60 version on your bomber? I realize this is the wrong section but maybe you could throw up a new thread in the bomber section? I looked but didn't find one. If not maybe pm me? Thanx a lot "thumbsup"

Looks awesome!!! Thanks for the pics

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Where did you get them for $28 for the pair? I just ordered a set from amazon for 50 shipped. I have a set of currie's and was getting ready to order another set until I came across this thread. Can't beat the price for a second or 3rd build.

Got to test the strength today. Hit a rock with enough speed and force to break the case of my Savox 1230, axle shrugged it off.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

I gotta say, this was a good buy. I had to scrape the paint for the inside pinion bearing. The outside pinion bearing fits a little loose, but a tiny bit of blue locktite fixes the looseness, green lock tight would work best though. Shim the diffs and she good to go.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Just ordered these myself.

Pretty crazy, that the only Axial-branded parts I ordered for the "Axial AR44 axle" were the 2,6mm x 12mm screws and the locker/pinion bearings :shock: All else was Xtra Speed and SSD.

Can the locker be shimmed, or only the pinion gear?

Should I by default shim it so that it is as close to the big bearing? Or as close to the spur gear as long as it still runs smoothly?

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Ordered mine on the 12th and they got delivered this morning. Hope to get them installed Monday. Any tips besides scraping the paint for the bearing ?

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Fit perfectly - no issues at all.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

How are these holding up for everyone? I'm interested if they would last being smashed into rocks.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Well, I ordered mine after seeing some of your all's comments about them. I went ahead and ordered the xtra speed steel driveshafts for the rear and their cvd shafts for the front. Also picked up a set of Samix aluminum steering knuckles as well. Can't wait for them to get here.

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Did too.

Anyone have any experience with these Xtra speed front and rear driveshafts?

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

im running xtra speed axle housing with mip`s driveshafts front and back

zero issues

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Cool.

Anyone have any experience with these Xtra speed front and rear driveshafts?

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

Not driveshafts, Axle shafts

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

My bad.

Does anyone have any experience with these Xtra speed front and rear axle shafts?

Re: Xtra Speed axle
 

I've got one run on the front axle shafts. So far they are good. Look identical to the axial shafts.

Any pics with SSD parts on these axles?

Yes, shim both the locker and pinion. On mines with the stock locker and ring, I put a .2mm on the pinion, and .4mm on the locker. The locker was sliding left to right. Shims should go between bearings and locker/ring.
