First and more than likely only Titan 60 front axle. I know better than to work when I'm upset but i did anyways and ruined the rear housing. Luckily I have another one hear and it will be a quick fix. Wanted to assemble the front one just to see what she looked like and get a weight dressed out. 14 3/8oz. Still have to drill for the c hubs and a little mill work, them of to DMG.

those are absolutely beautiful. It'd be a shame to scratch em on on the rocks.

Thanks for all the compliments.
The rocks should be scared of the Titan 60s when they come to play.
I kind of just want to have them cleared when they are done but that wouldn't be scale. Probably just go back with New Cast. The tubes should hold up pretty well to scratches, I made them from tool steel.

Well this will probably be it. They are a bit pricey. Front is not as bad as the rear price wise but you still have to buy an aluminum housing just to get the pumpkin. You can always do a plastic/aluminum hybrid or a plastic/steel hybrid.

Over the top, as usual Clay. I'm very excited to see this build finished.

Great job on the axles. On a side note, I hear from a little birdie that there soon will be center axle cases and ax10 axle cases in metal w/ removable diff covers. I can not confirm or deny the information, but my source is pretty reliable.

Thanks Norm, love the stuff i got from you, so bad ass.
I hear the same chirps over here, but they will still be aluminum and have bolt on crap everywhere. Not that that's a bad thing, but not scale enough for this outlaw.

Very nice Brian. I will be getting something done, just been slammed here. I have a huge order that needs to ship this week to a hobby store in Japan and been trying to get the axles ready to send off.
