Just received them... Tight fit on VP c-hubs.. (need to use a hammer to mount them in)
But mounting them on a ax10 axle is a piece of cake

Thanks chris

I ordered a set of wide splined tubes off your website yesterday morning and haven't seen any confirmation that you've accepted my payment or seen my order. An update would be nice. I know you still have to make them, just making sure you got my order.

Splined disclaimer:

All splined versions are being molded to Vanquish brand chubs. Axial plastic chubs are tight, but fit fine. STRC chubs are a little loser, but fit alright. I have not tested other brands. I HIGHLY recommend buying Vanquish brand chubs if you are using aftermarket. They are the best quality in my opinion.


Splines are really tight on Vanquish chubs. You have to tap them on with a hammer. I recommend tapping them on, and taking them off a few times. The aluminum will work in the delrin, ensuring a nice tight fit.


Splines DO VARY. This is not a perfect process. There will be variances. As I make more, the process will get more consistent. All tubes are functionally fine, and test fitted before shipment.


Non-Splined Disclaimer:



Non splined versions are cut to 13mm at the mounting point. This is TOO LOSE for Vanquish and STRC chubs. It may be too lose for other brand aluminum chubs. It is perfect for plastic axial chubs or rear lockouts though. I do not know what lockouts for the rear fit a 13mm mounting surface. If you are planning on using these with an aluminum chub for a steering axle, then I HIGHLY recommend just buying the splined version. This will ensure the caster wont shift. The non-splined version will be fine for the rear in most cases.














Instructions



A local guy was nice enough to lend me his sportsman truck to test these tubes on, and do an install to post pics for an instructional post. Time was limited, so you don't get any fancy pics, but some on my dinner table pics


I would like to note that I put about an hour on the truck and gave it a really good beating. None of the screws came lose. I am using plastic knuckles and chubs as well as a piano wire tie rod. So there is a little flex in the steering, but I don't think that effected weather or not the hardware kept the tubes secured.



The truck started with stock dog bones. He has struggled with turning in our local novice class. So I offered him some free and/or cheap parts in exchange.


These are the parts and tools required to do this procedure. I forgot to picture my fancy hi-tech vice grips.

Parts:
-Axial XR10 universals(Part # AXI30563)
-Knuckles and Chubs of your choice. I HIGHLY recommend Vanquish chubs and Vanquish Wraith knuckles
-CreationFab Delrin tubes
-New tie rod and drag link
-x8 3x6 button head screws to mount tubes firmly into housing


Tools/Other:
-Drill
-#40 bit
-Something to cut the stock tabs off(I used my band saw and bench sander) Dremmel or xacto knife will work too
-Common hand tools to dis-assemble your truck
-Something to measure the angle of your caster. Non-matched caster might result in goofy steering. I used the angle finder pictured
-Vice grip pliers or something to clamp the 2 halves of the housing together.
-RED LOCKTITE







First thing I did was take out the front axle. Then I took off the stock knuckles, chubs, and axle shafts. Once that was done, I cut off the stock chub mounting tab FLUSH at the edge of larger part of the housing as pictured below. I rough cut it on my band saw, then sanded it flush on my bench sander.

Now, I didn't take apart the 2 halves, or take out the ring and pinion because I didn't feel it necessary. Although you will get plastic shavings in there, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it all apart and clean out all the crap before the final re-assembly.






Now, I mounted the chubs onto the tubes.





With the tubes and chubs mated, and the axle housing trimmed, it was time to slide the tube into the housing. I slid it in as far as it could go. It took me a while to figure out a good way to measure caster OFF the truck. But I figured out that the 3 mounting pegs for the servo were all level. So I flipped it upside down, and then measured the caster that way with my angle finder. Once it was set I clamped the housing to the tube so it wouldn't move on me while drilling the holes for the hardware.


Started with drilling and installing the 2 inner most front screws as seen in the 3rd pic down. Then I drilled and installed the inner 2 screws on the back half of the housing as seen in the 4th pic down. With those both firmly secured, clamped the ends of the housing. Then I drilled out the tube where the 2 screws on the top go in for option parts as seen in the 5th pic. I did this procedure last because I didn't want to risk the drill bit making the caster move while drilling the pilot holes.


PLEASE NOTE:

Do not tap the holes. Running the screws directly into the plastic ensures a tighter fit. Also, use a generous amount of Red Locktite. Let that sit overnight for maximum hold.










This is what you end up with.






New drag link and tie rod made up. Steering as you can see is respectable for a sportsman. I used 2 stock XR arms for the steering arms because they are 0 ackerman angle, and were accessible.






Added 5-28-12:

Here is a new and possibly easier way to set the caster even. Also a better way to keep the tubes secured.

Mount your chubs on the tubes, and use 2 matching square sides to lay the faces of the chubs on. Eyeball where you want the caster to be, and then make sure all 4 ears of the chubs lay flat on the edges as seen in the picture below. Make sure to do this all on a nice flat work surface to ensure it's all even. For extra security, glue the tubes onto 1 side of the housing. Then drill and install screws on the other side. I used CA(super glue) to do mine, then installed screws on both sides, and the top for extra measure. So that's 6 screws per side.

Another way to make caster the same is take a piece of aluminum or steel and drill a whole at both ends and screw it to the chubs then screw the tubes to the housing, that way its perfect, not even a ¼ of a spline off.

My wide splined tubes look different than any tubes posted here or on your site. it almost look like they are designed to be used without cutting the axle housing. Any instructions for this style posted anywhere?

Thanks

Only the very ends need to be trimmed off. If you look closer at some pics in earlier posts you'll find what you're looking for.
