Just got done building this from a kit. My first RC. I have broken it so far every time out ( only three packs, and nimh at that ). I bought a craigslist wraith that had aluminun links and knuckles. I put the upgraded parts on my wraith and am building the other back to stock to sell or let my son play with. I have the following on my Wraith.

I went ahead and ordered the front axle on ebay. I ordered it on 2/18. It is scheduled for delivery March 6. So delivery is a little slow.

| Re: "Xtra aluminum axles" review After grease My electronics I installed the axle. I had two issues. One the axle was installed with the hub centered in the bolt holes. I was going to rotate it around but couldn't get the short shaft side to come out. So I installed it with the hub centered on both sides. The steering linkage had to be shortened up a little to center up in my servo. The link that came with the axle has aluminum rod ends. It came apart as I messed with it. I ended up swapping to some plastic ends that I had. I think they are plenty strong. Other than that the axle looked well built and sturdy. I did take it fully apart and loctite all the bolts. Several we're loose. I ran it for a few minutes and nothing broke, which is better than before. I didn't take it anywhere rough yet but I don't see why it wouldn't hold up. Total price was $99 on eBay. Last edited by Gatorbait; 03-02-2014 at 10:33 PM. |
