SDD are you holding out on us? Are you holding out on us or did I miss the discussion. I know its been mentioned in the pro axle thread, but to stubble on this... https://cdn3.volusion.com/7z62e.xvk6...jpg?1543501003 I am actually excited about this new offering. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? I forget where the SSD portals were originally brought up (the Vanquish portals thread maybe?) but I'm looking forward to these too. Curious on the hex to hex width and portal gearing. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? Nice, I wonder what the front axles would look like. |

Should have mentioned I found this on RPP's new product spotlight. If the price is just for the housings and the portal gears it seems reasonable. If anything else is included then its spectacular. I am hoping they there will be an offering to just update my pro axles already on the rig. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? SSD announced these a while ago and people have been constantly asking for updates so it's good to finally see them listed on RPP. Good find. I just looked and they also have portal knuckles listed at $119.99. If that's the case I think the rear axle would be more than $69.99 compete, but I could be wrong because SSD prices are typically great. https://cdn3.volusion.com/7z62e.xvk6...jpg?1543500048 https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ssd00220.htm |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? metal=reasonable Plastic=It wouldn't be for me. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? The product pages are in progress right now. Full details will be up later today or Monday. The knuckles are CNC machined aluminum. The rear axle is injection molded nylon as it cant be a bolt on part like the front for the rear. So the only way to make them affordable was to go nylon. Anyone who has SSD axles will know our nylon is pretty good. |

Re: SDD are you holding out on us? I like everything but the cvd style axles. Nothing a bit of dremel work on universals can't fix though. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? In case people do not notice, you can switch the gears and overdrive the front. |

Looks like 14 & 18 tooth gears so that gives a bit of range in offsetting the ratios. "thumbsup" |

Im confused. The last thing I want to do is use those horrible one piece axial axles. One of the first things I did to my II was get ssd pro axles. Are you saying you don't recommend using them on the axial kit style, or all axles with removable C hubs. Because honestly that's a deal breaker for me. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? 14/16 or 16/14 but have space for lower ratio gears if needed later. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? Quote:
I'm not recommending using these on the SSD axles at the moment. As the Pro44/Diamond have cast metal tubes and the threads may get damaged. We have solution for this coming soon. New nylon tubes and new C hubs coming out for SSD axles. We are moving away from the tiny AR44 C hub splines and have a new reliable fitting method on the new parts. So we released these first as more of a RTR upgrade or metal axle upgrade. SSD front portal axle will be released soon... |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? The increase in track width makes these a good option to throw under a Wraith/Bomber while keeping 2.2"s. With some wider hubs, you could get back up to AR60 width if you wanted. |

Why would you think that someone who bought ssd pro axles specifically for the metal tube would want to replace them with plastic? This is a complete and utter disappointment. I wish you luck, but no matter what you claim nylon is no substitute for metal. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? Quote:
We will be releasing portal weights also. |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? Quote:
Like I said I wish you luck. There are other products out there at similar price points that will work for me. If I wanted plastic portal axles they are already available. Or if I wanted to mortage my house they were available also. I like your products and held off this long in hopes of doing ssd portals. I happily purchased the pro axles for the metal for both the weight and not having to worry about pulling out screws and snapping tubes. I always thought your products were a common sense design someplace above the crap but not at the sell a kidney price. This offering isnt that. |

That's totally fine if you don't care for them but the rest of us will love em!!! |
Re: SDD are you holding out on us? Hell ya...can't wait to get my hands on a set. Way to go SSD. |
