hey mike, those axles are looking sick. I am going to have to do that to mine after this weekends comp. These things are a work of art. here are some pics of mine mounted to my GC-1. it is ready to rock-n-roll for this weekends comp, at least I think it is. We shall find out in a few days. They way that i mounted the upper links kept me from having to drill into the nice work that you did  and kept the link geometry how it is supposed to be. It sits right at 12.5" and at 3" of Ground clearance. the only thing that will ever hit the rocks are the links and the skid   Last edited by yukon635; 02-18-2008 at 10:26 PM. |

The links mounted up pretty good on the bottom but the link mounts for the strut is wide and the GC chassis is narrow. For the lowers all I needed to do was remove a little off the skid where the link end rubbed.

Great thread Mike Theses axles are the ultimate in performance. The key is to take your time and get things shimmed, shaved, and setup right. If you follow Mikes instruction through this thread you'll have one fine set of axles. I've logged hours of use with only a few minor breaks. After running these it's impossible to go back to a standard straight axle. On a comp rig I wouldn't run anything else. I've seen these on a bunch of tubers, nice to see some mated with some TVP's |

The uppers need a little more work, they were a little long for the strut. And if you want to be able to use the 2 holes in the chassis you need 2 holes in the strut as well. So I shortened the upper link .5" and drilled 2 holes in the strut. Now I have some adjustments on the chassis. Also the height on the strut end can be adjusted too buy adding or removing washers under the link. Front and rear are done the same. |

I saw this Velcro being used to wrap computer cables, they call it tak-tape. What's cool about it is it's only .035" thick, it doesn't feel or look like Velcro it's really smooth. This makes it really good for gluing on to the battery plate. I use 3M 77 to glue the velcro to the battery and battery plate. |

Mask off what you don't want glue on and give it a light coat. When you touch the glue and it sticks to the part and not your finger it's ready for a permanent bond.

Here are the new CVD bones. The pen marking shows where just a little material need to be removed. These will be on all new axles and offered to all previous purchases at a generous discount. |

After assembling a few axles with the Burly Bones I found some of them would touch the out drive cup. So a little more grinding here. When you spin the axle and feel a little bump thats where it is.

Here is how I install the Associated B4 slipper in the Axial. Cut shim stock the width of the bearing, then wrap it around something close to the size of the 3/16x3/8 bearing. |

Insert the shim into the case and use the top gear as a tool to press the bearing in.
