Cool. I'd like to see some wider shots so I can see the whole axle, and some of them unassembled, with interior views.

Kevin,

Any word on a possible ETA if you were to order some into the states? HAve they given you any price breakdowns yet?

A hybrid Clod/TXT axle will be a killer setup in my book.

They are pretty tight lipped about pricing and release date. Don't get your hopes up high yet guys. It could still be several months off. But at least now they have physical prototypes and that's a big step forward.

Very cool looking axles! Absolutely perfect for bolting on a small right angle drive and making a shaftie. Those of us who have loads of TXT parts sitting around could make the right angle drive with chopped up housings and spare gears like Rikpal's transfer case in his Jeep.

Probably would be enough reduction to run minimal gearing in the transmission also. Good for countering torque twist.

Dosn't look like the present version Stick with work with those axles without a few new parts..........hmm.

Noticed that they don't mention Clod either. I think the internal parts will be slighltly different also.

yeah, the nn would convert over easily. The current stick would need new parts.

Too bad these didn't come out last year.

Does anyone even run Super Class trucks anymore?

If they were 2.2 sized, they might sell.
