Thumbs up ***REVIEW*** DLUX Fab 70* XR10 modded steering shafts

A few weeks ago, I read Erik (Dlux) modded some XR10 Universals for 70* of steering. My axles were tired and I knew they took a beating over this past season. So...I contacted him and ordered a set. I was running aftermarket axles that yielded 50* of steering, with a few mods to my truck (for better steering angle)...I didn't realize how much of a beating I put on the axles pushing them at or past their usable limit.

This is where the modded shafts come in...

Am I using the total 70* degrees of steering? NO.

If I had to guess...I have around 60* degrees or so, turning left to right without hitting my servo, battery or front lower links.

So why have 70* degrees of available steering? Having the "extra" usable angle will keep you from maxing out AND extend the life of your axles. I can spin the axles at full lock smoothly.

You can get the modded axles here at DLUX FAB
