These are now back in stock! There has been a change...... I went from a 5x16 bearing to a 5x13 bearing. This leaves all the crucial materiel (no longer as deep) and then some but still gives a much better bearing than stock. In our testing we still did not wear out a bearing and had no housing issues. In the picture there is a 5x13 bearing installed and to the lower left there is a 5x13 next to a stock 5x10 so you can see just how much bigger it still is. |

I dont see why it would be a problem for the VP housing. I am not sure I want to take the chance on a part that I make a couple of dollars on. I can now see the SCX housing working also, if there were enough interest I would give these a shot again. |

I'd be in for scx housings.. After the abuse I put the wraith axles thru, in game! Specially now the scx is running a HH trailmaster BL and testing it on 4s! |

| How high horsepower? Pro4 4000kv on 4s with Zero remorse on the throttle!? Pics all since I went with the Dlux mod housing and could actually keep gears in one piece... All pics are of different breaks over the last month or so and of diff breaks. I have so far lost/broke both stub shafts on the uni's and vvd's, bearings blew apart at the Knuckle's and outside edge of the axles and broke a rear axle shaft.. And Not once have I had a gear skip, pop, or the mesh loosen up! |

I'm running axial hd gears with stock ratio now. I ruined a handful of gears before switching to the modded axles. I tried bearings and bushings before. And that was just with a 13.5t redline on 3s. I'm running fasteddie bearings thru out. I don't consider anything a weak spot, not when I'm behind the wheel! I just like destroying shiz and this is my rig for just that. Got my VP vvd V2 (5mm) stub shafts today. Can't wait to get my new rotor so I can put them thru there paces! Next will prolly be some lockedup rc OT shafts for the rear, once they come out. I should be pretty solid then. |

No, I had to get a new rotor for my Pro4 4000kv. 2 of the magnets started to pull from the center shaft. |

Sounds like you need some DLux axle shafts and knuckles. |

I have just a few SCX/AX10 housings with the 13mm bearing in stock now. I would be willing to do more if these go well. If they dont,... get them while they last... LOL

Can you hold on to 2 scx10' cases for a couple days? Was gonna buy some at a local hobby shop but yours after the mod are $10 cheaper *Oops. The way it was worded I assumed it was two cases for $20. I'll have to dig a little deeper in my pockets for the next parts order. Last edited by djjiz; 04-28-2014 at 05:35 PM. |
