Anyone ever experience any problems with them? Used products really beat up?
I want axles, and a replacement steering knuckle, and I'm just curious.

Thanks.

Nothin'? No one?

i personally haven't had any experience but i have heard from others that they are not the baest for customer servise. they ship extremly slow and the used products are pretty beat up. hope I could help. I wouldn't go with them. just buy from ebay or www.INetRC.com has axles brand new. they also have knuckels.

the other day i added up the cost of the parts for 2 brand new clod axles from Tower Hobbies.

i forgot what it was, but it's WWAAAAAYYYY less than ebay or inet. all parts brand new too.

reallllllyyyyy?!?!?!?about what price range? $60-$70/$70-$80 ETC.?

Post up part numbers Vitamin. I could have sworn someone already added it up and it ended up being a lot more.

Vitamin_J · 03-14-2005, 05:34 PM

i'll see if i can find em all again. there's a lot of little pieces that are hard to find.

Vitamin_J · 03-14-2005, 05:51 PM

i guess you were right. if you buy every little piece you need, 2 axles comes out to about $160.
i added up just the parts that were essential (not including bushings, e-clips, and washers) and i got $133

EeePee · 03-14-2005, 06:01 PM

Thanks for the posts. I noticed inetrc doesn't have the complete axles listed anymore, and that's why I went over to the Junkyard. I figured the new axles would be ok, but slow shipping will hurt me right now, I'm under a time constraint! The thing about Tower is a few of those items aren't in stock right now. I should call, or email inetrc to see what's up with taking the axles of their site...

And at that price at Tower, it's almost worth it to buy a Bullhead or Super Clod, and get all that extra shit, like screws and nuts, and whatever...

Thanks, but wouldn't this be the same as the Clod Junkyard? Aren't they the same site?

I could be wrong, it's early...

The Clod Junkyard is run by Darren at ThunderTech, that is correct. The part numbers I gave though are for NEW axles, not used.

ThunderTech has always provided me with great customer service and shipping time. One set of axles I got were missing the axleshafts, a mistake from his supplier. Darren called me, and asked what I wanted to do, I told him I'd like to start on the axles so he shipped them out to me and a few days later the shafts came in the mail. I highly recommend him.
