|  Where's the Beef: Titan 60s !!FINALLY COMPLETE!!
I wanted something more scale and extremely durable. So I spent a couple hours at the machine shop and came up with the Titan 60 axle housings. These are not a production piece from Carter Fab & Machine. It's obviously expensive having to buy 2 aluminum housings, 2 sets of rear axles and having to have all the machine work done. This is more for the die hard scale guys. I can modify housings to any width, and provide the rear axle shafts for the centered housing. Plastic housings are easily modified to center housings and it's cheap. The Titan housings feature aluminum pumpkins and steel tubes. Also have the pumpkin shaved for more clearance, as this is common in 1:1. No more screws holding everything together. Housings can be centered, narrowed, or widened. Shaved pumpkin    All done  Front housing, pre link mounts and haven't drilled for c hubs.  Tubes are machined from 5/8 diameter drill rod  With steel cross-members and notches in axle tubes  Rear shafts  Ready to send off.  And a centered plastic housing  Thanks Clay Carter Fab & Machine Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose Last edited by CarterFab; 03-31-2012 at 08:48 AM. |

Those are badass! Ever think of building a set of 9's? Removeable 3rd and all... That would be epic. |

Thanks guys and now I have an even more bad ass idea if I can just get a set of Blackwell axles, or an almost as bad ass idea with a set of black widows. I have wanted ads placed but maybe one of you knows a source. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

Do you have an estimated price for a set of those? they look sweet and should make the Wraith perform much better  |

Can not discuss pricing here. Send me a pm if serious but it ain't cheap. Cheaper if you already have the aluminum housings. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose Last edited by CarterFab; 03-02-2012 at 09:30 AM. |

Ultimate 9s coming soon. Wish I wasn't going out of town tomorrow. Can't wait to mod these bad boys and almost feel bad about it. They are gorgeous.  Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |
