Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions These sure look like Crawler Innovations outputs? |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions 1 Attachment(s) Crawler Innovations are two piece, shaft on each side of the gear. These look to be 1 solid shaft with a retainer ring. Looks like a better design to me."thumbsup" |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions I can't wait to put my next order in.. A couple of these are coming home to me! Great work JRH and Don! |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Do tell, 1beatjeep! If you have some recently purchased outputs from CI, it would have a lot of the same design feel since I made them. But the measurements and construction is unique to Eddies product. TorqueMaster outdrives are solid shaft connecting the front and rear axles together, it is the only product that does this. We will be working this week on an assembly video and pics showing how they work. The lock ring side is a little thinner than stock spacing on SCX models, we will provide shims for best fit in both aftermarket and stock cases. Thanks Troy! It took a lot of work and effort to program and learn the machining of these. It is tough to beat the feeling of bringing design into fabricated parts from start to finish! Don had the spool concept and sent a drawing. I took it from there, added tolerances and tweaked dims. The hard part was making a machine actually cut those dims. Every driveshaft needed it's own unique path to account for bar flex during machining. |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions 1 Attachment(s) Barstock, sectioned off half cut, fully cut parts. It is one of the few parts I make by rechucking the material back into the machine. I much prefer full automation making my parts, but these were too rad to get lazy on :) |
It's back! |

Great job JRH"thumbsup" |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions I can see it fine! |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Image uploaded here so all can see |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Just got mine on the way, Thanks John "thumbsup" |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Awesome product"thumbsup" Why are stock length SCX style outputs the only ones that come with lightening holes and 6 screw holes? . |

Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions The lightening is not an easy or fast process, nor is machining them with 6 holes. The long versions would have a much higher price if done that way. |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Blast from the past! Was rummaging through old parts bins and found my first 5mm extended output. All the way back from 2006, it was made for stealth trannies before axial was around! Five years before the "invention" of this style output, so I hear :lol: Just look at that smeary finish (Ok, so photo doesn't look so bad, but I promise it bugs me being a machinist) and lack of cross pins. Back when set screws and stampede trannies were the norm! You newbs with your stock replacement parts, you have it easy I tell ya! I'll keep making it easy for you too with these parts. Thanks for the support with these. Stock length has been very popular. I'll try to make the next run lightened with extra screw holes again, seems to really make yall happy! |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions 1 Attachment(s) photo or it didn't happen! |
Thank you! For making family time the most fun it can be! I tortured my hh solid lightned diff today. I will be buying more! |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Looking good these are the nicest i've seen on the market. "thumbsup" |
Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Understand but did you get the same idea from CI? Quote:

Re: TorqueMaster Outdrives for Axial Transmissions Thanks for the kind words! The support is much appreciated! Quote:
Yotachump made his sets to the same lengths as mine around 2008, I don't remember if it was by chance or if I shared ideas. I certainly bought plenty of his parts, and he was more than capable of knowing how to clear a fat driveshaft past a spur gear "thumbsup". After he stopped making them, Supershafty and CI picked up around 2011 with those same lengths and changed for different driveshafts. After I got the production lathe, it was time to look back at outputs. Don pushed me pretty hard to make some, and it was his idea to make them spool style. It just took time to figure out how to make em on my machine, within the tooling limitations and programming language. There's your RCC history lesson for today :ror: |
