what diffs are you guys planning on installing? i was thinking about building a big tired monster truck with axial axles and was thinking HPI MT2 diffs would fit....

Axial made diffs that came in the RTR version of the AX-10. HPI MT1-MT2 diff internals will fit.

This one is machined specifically for the AX-10 transmission.

Absolutely. The super whiplash is just about complete as well...designed around big power and twin force axles.

Exactly what the doctor ordered!
If it'll accept slightly narrower than stock TF axles, 1-1/4 off the long side, you could my name down on one

If I may.....

I believe BWD's Super FOFF using TF axles
Is set up for 10 1/2 inch Axles conversion (2 short sides with centered Diff)


I have not seen it yet but if its anything like his 1:10 scale FOFF
then were in for a treat !!!!!

could this be the solid axle truggy beater on the track???

gotta remember, there is a LOT of tunability in TF axles, being that they use buggy diffs, and axles....

so is there a version in the works that uses an 1/8th scale buggy center diff in the drive line???

Got it...the first batch will be shipping out Friday/Saturday this week...of which I still have a few left unclaimed. One or two special ones are shipping out today I think

Here's a few of the parts out of debur so far. Hundreds of links, a bunch of bulkheads, and plenty of skids are still in process out in the shop...but nearly done.

The kits can be found here http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/Bil...StoreFront.bok

I am adding components, stretch kits, the 14.5" wheelbase kits, and much more to the store this week. Keep in mind, with a simple swap of the shock towers and links (included in the stretch kit) you can add to/take away from your wheel base, front/rear/both, in half inch increments.

My personal favorite shock for this beast is the 4" Traxxas big bores with 5/16-3/8 internal limiters. The kit is designed around 3.5" shocks but if you go to 4" and limit them you have more ride height tuning options. GTR's are tough to get soft enough...but work great if you're into axle snapping 20' plus vertical drops like myself.

Our new bomb proof 6mm one piece FOFF spools are just about wrapped up, and should be available late next week. Extended 6mm spools will not work with this chassis kit FYI.

I'll also have more pics, and full online build instructions up this weekend.

Lastly, if you plan to abuse your's the way I do mine, do yourself a favor and order up some Gunnar beef tubes from KC Jones http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=268650 You will need 2 pairs for one rig, and I promise they are well worth it and easy to install!
