GCM A-13 All Aluminum Wraith MetalHead Axle Housings

[scram8]

Whats the price for us dollar. Like a set with 4 link and servo mount. I came up with 1 US dollar = 0.9927 Canadian dollars. So thats 235.00 for a set. Please correct me if this isnt right. Thanks

[Generis]

That's right. The exchange is basically 1:1 right now. I didn't bother listing pricing with USD, as there's so little difference.
Thanks

How the steering running VP knuckles since they make it a high steer?
I really like these they look beefy.

[Generis]

Thanks, they are really beefy. I don't have the high steer here to try out, but the VP C-hubs are fine. I'm sure the high steer linkage could be done if you wanted to, especially with a Panhard setup. The axle mounted servo might require some sort of bent upper steering link to work on the high steer knuckles.

[YJ_Driver]

I have the VP Cs, knuckles, CMS, panhard and steering links. The only minor issue is with the panhard mount which doesn't quite have enough space. Due to the design constraints, GCM had to move the link mounts out a bit which didn't leave enough space for the panhard mount, so either it or the steering C must be ground down a bit. Chris (GCM) was nice enough to shave down the panhard mount for me and as you can see here it's a small amount (< 1/16"):


The steering links fit fine; the tie rod will just touch the diff cover at full steer but doesn't interfere, at least with the caster set back one notch. And as a bonus the panhard has more clearance than with the stock axle case.

[Generis]

Is this considered 'high steer' or is this the normal setup? Looks like all the rest. I guess VP puts the steering link up a bit higher, don't they.. Neat!

[YJ_Driver]

I never had a stock Wraith steering setup so I can't compare to it, but if the steering is higher than stock then it's 'high steer', though often the tie rod is placed above the steering arms to achieve this. And anything higher than in my pics will just have more clearance, at least with the CMS setup, a servo on axle setup will be different.

[rockbender]

I can see with a CMS it's fine but if you mount the servo on the axle tube it might be tight. But I'll figure it out. I'm selling some crawler stuff I don't use to buy some these axles are sick!

[scram8]

ok.i just sent payment for a set. thanx

We continue to manufacture these A-13 Wraith axles in 4 options.
Front with Servo
Front with no servo, and PanHard spot
Rear standard
Rear with steering, and servo on axle
Rear centered, use RC4wd shafts, or make your own

Generally we have most of the components in stock, and assemble kits to order. The batch pre-orders are done.

[scram8]

These housings are awesome. I'd highly recommend these.

[Generis]

Another quick note to say we are doing another big load of these next week. If you want mid September shipping, get your orders in now!
Thanks for the replies and pics, everyone! Keep it coming!
