|  Insight into the Design of the AR60 Axle
Just finished a blog post for my Formula Offroad build, as I was writing it the post evolved into a design insight of the AR60 axle. Figured it was worth posting in the Wraith forum  I covered the thought process and ideas behind the the AR60 axle. AR60 Axle Blog Post Some highlight pics:    |

Very cool. Scrub radius is also why its important to get the correct wheel/hub offset when using different wheels.

| Re: Insight into the Design of the AR60 Axle
So, when are they going to redesign the housing to use more meat where the lower link mounts attach and use buttonhead bolts, sitting on the surface, instead of countersunk cap heads? And how about centering the upper link mounts? Ya, I know wishful thinking. |
