1.9 axles

[Cave Dave]

So the 1.9 class has proven to be fun for many folks and it makes me wonder why other brands haven't jumped in the game. How many others would like to see 1.9 axles or even better a whole new rig come out?? Lets make some noise and see if somone will take notice that the market is still basicly a 1 brand show in this class.

Axail ?? You guys surprise me you haven't jumped in yet.


Duratrax ?? Maybe Mr. Dunn can convice somone to get in the game.


Others? The markets open,jump in and take your share !!!!

I never thought a 1.9 rig would thrill me much after being into big-wheeled monster trucks, but I gotta say I'M HOOKED .

I'll join in on making some noise for new 1.9 releases!

im in, I think the 1.9 and 1.5 is realy taking off and it is bby far my favorite two classes to run, im not sure if ill ever go back to 2.2 or anything else!

I like running a 1.9 because it is almost like a spec-class.

Ed-zackery! No mechanical advantage... Its a drivers class

[JeremyH]

Duratrax tried.....but the rules were written to exclude axles like the ones they produced.

RC4WD makes 1.9 axles.....and TLTs can be cut down for 1.9 width and would by MUCH stronger than the MRC axles....

[Mr. Ed]

I'd build another 1.9nr comp but it would have to be different then the losi. it is weird nobody else has stepped up to the plate, guess losi's competion just accepted the slap in the face

[helhedded]

I would love to see Axial get in the 1.9 game. It would also be sweet if they had all of the hop-ups for the 1.9 that they have for the 2.2.

How about a 1.9 MOA?

No thanks. Personally I like the class the way it is,just wish there where more options.Having drivelines and no dig make it a great drivers class and I think it appeals to folks that way.




Thanks for some great replies from everybody! Looking forward to more.

Yeah 1.9 is a drivers class but I hate to take a reverse for the shear lack of steering on a course. I run a 9755 on my 1.9 and cvd's so that is not limiting it. Now I know duratrax had a moa rig for 1.9 was not the best but would be nice to be able to rear dig and front dig.

Since we can't pre run a course and some times they get set up tight where you have to loose points cause of the 1 side selection that we have to choose from.

Just my Drunken thoughts.

Your points are somewhat valid Cory, but not really

A 1.9 rig is for sure a drivers class, and if all the rigs are "even" then you really have to think about your line and your use of reverse could kill you. But it could also kill the other guy taking a reverse in the same spot. This makes it like I said, and others said, a driver's class.

In a nut shell, think about what you do on the course before you go

[muddog27]

yaaa new 1.9 maby losi will make worm gear axles
some one else need to jump in the game im all for a 1.9 axail kit
come on step it up

[4xFord]

If a new 1.9 class rig comes out they will probably rewrite the rules to exclude it. Its a losi only class. Rules committee has made that obvious IMO.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

actually, with my last scaler i built, my stock axial axles were only 8-1/8" wide from the outside of that tire sidewall to the outside of the other tire sidewall!!!

that was running HPI stock car wheels, with pro-line flat irons mounted up to them.

it got me thinking that i am sure you could take the face of your hexes to the grinder and grind a 1/16th of an inch off the face of them to get you to the max width....

plus, you'd have 1.9 axles strong enough to handle running a 540 motor!!!

I sure hope not. I dont like my my Losi 1.9 axles at all. I want something stronger with more options such as different ration gearing. One would think that with a 1.9 no-dig class, optional gear ratios would be a huge hit. /mini rant

...and you would have horrible diff clearance!

Ok, I know I am easily confused as a noob, but isn't the SCX10 a 1.9 rig? I know people do run 2.2s some, I have one running 2.2s (though I am going back to 1.9s on my rebuild) and one running 1.9s. I also have a timberwolf with T-Rex axles running 2.2s and am ordering a Gelande for a D90 build that has the same axles with 1.9s.

I also though the D44s from RC4WD were 1.9s or 1.5s.

Sp, what am I missing in what people are asking for.

They are to wide per 1.9 class rules... Another 1.9 COMP platform is what we want... something to compete w/ the MRC

You are missing the whole 1.9 comp rules and rig thing. Just because ya put 1.9 wheels on axial 2.2 axles doesn't make it a 1.9 comp rig.

I would like to see more options in 1.9 but that would kinda take away from the spec class it is intended to be. But, While it was intended to be a low budget spec class, the few guys that run 1.9 (when there even is a comp for them) have some very high dollar modified losi minis. The sport/sportsman 2.2 class is more popular around here and allows all kinds of options.

[neillarson]

Ok, somehow I missed the whole comp piece. That makes sense.
