Finally had a minute to get these assembled and painted. Really happy how they turned out. Just need to put them under something. Thinking the large scale Ford Raptor maybe.

Great looking stuff Clay! Didn't know you had gotten this deep into this stuff. I need to swing by your shop next time I'm up that way.

Norm is gonna kick my butt. When I was listing off all the great vendors products that were put into these axles I forgot Team3six's Rocklübe II. Sorry bud.

CarterFab · 03-30-2012, 08:59 PM

And now the hardest decision. What truck to put them under.
Large scale Ford Raptor
Jeep Willys
Jeep XJ clone of my 1:1
Sc body with bolt on panels
Large scale TJ

Very nice work as usual Clay. Can't wait to see these things on a rig!!!

yoda@4x4 · 07-20-2012, 07:12 PM

WOW very nice axles....

Quickinmd2 · 07-22-2012, 06:26 PM

What are the brackets from, that were weld on the axles?

desertmaxx · 07-22-2012, 06:38 PM

those are amazing axles. i think the raptor or the sc body would be cool.

They are TLT mounts.

CHEVOTA · 07-23-2012, 12:24 AM

I would say Raptor unless you wanted to go super scale with an indipendent frontend, then I would say the jeep or the Willys - either way, those axles turned out awesome !!

CarterFab · 07-23-2012, 06:21 AM

The raptor body currently has a Slash 4x4 front end under it and will get a centered diff, but not these.

And something to help them live up to their name. Titanium Big Boi shafts.

Courtesy of Creeperbob. And since RC4wd has come out with a centered housing and I'm sure Vanquish is not far behind, I would hit him up for a set of shafts. They won't be quite as beefy as these, I don't have ugly bolts passing through my housings holding link mounts on and don't know why they still make them like that, but they are grade 5 and will be stronger than a plain steel shaft.

Nope, not exactly, but there is a nice suprise scale in the axle world coming shortly.

You mean just as I finish rebuilding Guido with my custom AR60 axles I'm gonna have to do another axle swap?

tom@vp · 08-06-2012, 09:23 PM

I dont want to derail carters thread, I do like the work he does.

but oh yea, the axle game is on.

Agreed, if I didn't have the ability to build my own axles I'd have him do them for sure.

No worries on derailment. The whole reason I started making custom housings was because no one makes what I want. Stuff keeps coming out and it's still "wrong" in my eyes. Rc4wd releases their housing but guess what, this is still the only one ever made

.
This is how the housing for straight axles should look. Notice the lack of ugly ass hardware going through the tubes

I hope you guys bring something to the table that can compete with the Titans or better yet the Ultimate 9s

Or the BlackRock 60s

I openly welcome the challenge and once again my fingers will be crossed.

Steve has my number, I would love an all VP Scale housing, I'm already outfitting all my custom housings with your parts. Love to know what's going on.
