Hey Dustin, what's your opinion on axles for under the NB Jeep body?

Either cast yota axles or ax10 axles for sure... The ax10 axles are going to be the best bet but the RC4WD cast yota axles are more scale by far..

I'm going for a look like this:


He is using K44's and they look awesome but are expensive as hell. They are 176mm wide and the Axial is 196mm. The Yota's are 180mm so they could be a possibility.

KEEP IN MIND! your building this truck to open up you terrain options.
This means your going to be abusing this truck a bit more than your tamiya. For longevity and ease of use.. the axial axles are going to be the best offering for the best value out of all axles. The parts support is unparallelled and they look scale tucked up under the NB TJ

If you dont mind me suggesting, I would steer clear of any 2pole motor for the MonsterTruck, you'd be much better off with a Tekin T8 buggy motor in a 2000-2650kv on 3s.
Even if your just kinda crawling or low speeds runs with it the bigger 4 pole motor and higher voltage will give you twice the power and efficiency and still have butter smooth control.
Just my 2cents

[Tonyszuma]

yea i want a 4 pole i will be looking at what would be a good step up for it. it does move tho. thanks for the info tho

This is true but I still want it to look good. Lol. I've also been looking at the plastic T-Rex 60's. They look great and are 190mm. Not sure as far as durability but they are about the same $$ as the Axial's. I was browsing through the JK pic thread and many of them are running SCX10 axles and they looked good. I think I'll just wait till I get this thing, maybe bring it to a G2G and see how they would look under it, I know you probably have a few sets laying around.

Anyone one up for a run over the Thanksgiving weekend? We are doing Thanksgiving early (this Saturday) so gonna have some free time next weekend to break in the new ride.

Bill and I will be working on his car tomorrow I'll see what he says.

We have a couple new guys joining the thread so I hope you can all make it ?

Every auto parts store in this area has started carrying pvc-coated steel tubing instead of stainless. Ugly looking stuff. May resort to online ordering.
