Erik, are the 10 x 15 x 4 bearings that fit on the lockers flanged too? All the others are, right?

One of the locker bearings is flanged, the other is not. All other small gear bearings besides the 2nd gear on the motor side are flanged.

Axle shafts - Done

Bearing pockets in motor side CF - Done
Motor side CF, upper cf upper links all cleaned up, ready to go.

Delrin upper link mounts - Done




Non motor side CF plates are the last thing I have to do. I need to assemble a set of axles so I can tweak the design a bit and get a perfect fit. With any luck, I will have all these cut, bearing pockets milled and cleaned up and ready to go tomorrow night. After that, I just need to package everything and ship. I am guessing it will take me 2 days just to ship everything.

Everything is DONE!

I am starting to pack it all up. It will take awhile. I quickly found out that whomever is responsible for ordering bearings dropped the ball.... I will try to find some locally tomorrow.

I will start getting everything together and ready to be shipped tomorrow. I will get it out as soon as I can.

Monday is a holiday so most should have their new axles on Tuesday.

About 1/2 the orders shipped today and most of the rest will ship tomorrow. There are only a couple that need finishing touches before shipping but, everybody should be shipped by mid next week AND I have a handful of AX10 versions in stock, ready to ship.

I am already working on the next batch so hopefully the next shipment will be ultra smooth.

I think Paypal has that deal where you pay nothing for 6 months? Seriously, thats just like buying it in Dec!

Vacation? Pretty sure you know me better than that.

I have a really good start on the next batch. This batch should be much quicker as long as I can stay ahead of you guys for the most part. A lot of time was spent on the last batch with all the extras too like shafts, steering links, chassis etc,.

Alright, finally, I have the next batch done, or almost done. I just need to package all the parts up but that should not take me more than a day or two. So, all orders will be shipped and I will have some stock to work with. I should be ahead of everybody as of now. The only exception is the front XR diameter tubes, I am running really low on those. I should have a couple sets of those done by next week and I am not sure I will even run out of what I have.

Thanks again everybody!

Also it would be totally awesome for a complete bearing list for these guys. Mine are probably coming up on refresher build.

Super lites are back online and in stock with their much lower pricing!

7075 centers are coming, all else is ready to go.

I also made just a front or just a rear available. This makes it so you can run a super or if you just want a rear or front thats there too.
