Axial does a press release for every part. Once we see that then we will likely know a date.

I think I will have to try this. Axial sure isn't in a hurry.

Well I guess....You have no concept of how things are done in reality. You can't make everything at once, it's a matter of production capacity. I am sure they are in a hurry, they want the market share.

While true, they could have had them ready before release of the kit. It's just frustrating knowing they are coming out, and needing them yesterday to replace the pretzeled dogbone I have now. It's nothing against Axial themselves, every manufacturer seems to do it that way.

My guess is that the response to the Wraith was so overwhelming with pretty much every hobby shop in the country having them on backorder that all hands are on deck working on production for the Wraith. I am sure their priority is to keep the production line filling those orders rather than pull them off to build an axle shaft for Saydee.

I sure you could pull some strings and get a set for you also when they make mine.


Don't worry Super Man will have his 300's ready soon.

Thats hardly the same market.

You are looking at $30 universals vs $150 CVD's.

Yes, but a few have reported braking xr10 universals on scalers already. So $60 for two sets or more vs $150 once? I'm hoping for something stout, but the axle will always neck down for the link mount screws. One piece spool instead of the diff cup and locker would be nice too.

A few guys, yes a few. I've been running them for almost a year without issue. I'll likely have Super 300's but it is still a whole different ballpark.

Talked to Dave on the phone the other day before the NW qualifier.

He said he was testing them out and didnt know when they would be in production. But they will be out.

Im on that list
