| New Boom racing axle.
Just got this in the mail. Checking out the high clearance GDS Racing knuckles and hubs as well. Has stock axial gears and universals. I am really digging the SS skid! Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |

What's the weight of just the axle housing BTW? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Boom makes good stuff. The SS skid is stupid IMO like all axle skid plates. They eat into ground clearance and dig into the ground like winch anchors. Other than that it looks nice. Who is GDS Racing? I've never heard of them. |

Well, took one for the team. The GDS c-hubs and knuckles aren't compatible with the Axial universals. The bearings are farther apart so when you tighten down the wheel nut, it tries to compresses them together locking them up. They must only be compatible with their own xvds (which look super sweet) but am too impatient to order and wait two weeks to aquire them. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |

Alientac sells them. On second inspection, it might be the new Axial universals I just got. They bound in my old hubs and knuckles also. Comparing the new with the original, there are visual differences. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |

| Re: New Boom racing axle. C'mon Jato, you know this 1mm of stainless steel is going to do a hell of a lot more good than harm. Aluminum skids are pointless I agree but stainless skids are great for sliding over everything much easier than aluminum and protecting the softer grabbier aluminum diff on some axles. I don't run skids on all my axles but they are necessary on some.

I'm guessing about 13 gauge (.090"). And it appears that it is not tight against the pumpkin. Let's say, for shiggles, that it's 1/8" less clearance. That's 1.25" scale inches which isn't anything to sneeze at IMO. | |

| Re: New Boom racing axle. Not to speak for him, but that's an f9. I like the look of that, would definitely need one if I pick up a rear f9 to match my front |

| Re: New Boom racing axle. Maslin and Natedog are correct. This is my new rear SCX10 width F9 with a BPC stainless skid. For these axles, a skid is necessary IMHO.

Picked up a set of these myself. I'm sure I'll be happy with them. Thanks for bringing these to our attention Shawns303!

Well after a bunch of high speed runs through my local new part testing ground, I am super stoked on the skid! It is barely even showing all the impacts it has taken, very impressed. I would not have even thought about driving through here like I did without it. Would definitely recommend. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk |
