Wow you must be tired! Thanks for putting time into these as they are what looks like a very sturdy and reliable product... I am planning on ordering some of these eventually for an XR build I'm working on

I spent better part of Saturday at the machine shop pushing the machinist by manning 2 and 3 machines finishing lockers and adapters before he left for Texas for a week.

Can't wait to get my stuff.

Its you guys that appreciate what it is that Myself and a few of the other innovative guys in this hobby do that makes us keep working at it even when it becomes tough going. I love making parts that change the game and deliver unprecedented strength and durability. It truely makes me smile when guys tell me they want my parts because they know they wont be let down on course Thanks guys

Back to business. Im quickly realizing that with a family camping trip this next weekend(family always comes first in my house). I wont be able to get everything assembled/shipped in time for nats, as the second batch that was supposed to get back here from the heat treater at the latest yesterday wont be here till later tonight. This is what Im going to do- since I know that some guys NEED parts for nats.

Please read---------
Those of you that have a standing order with me and are going to attend Nationals-and need your parts for Nationals PM ME and at the very least I will bring them with me. Ive had alot of bad luck shipping around any holiday that guys need parts. I Fly into Atlanta at 6am on Thursday and will be at the comp site as soon as myself and Fish can get there.

Upon returning from Nats. I will be filling The Orders that guys need for scale nats and them run down my list and finish my shipping of parts as fast as possible. Some of you will say that this may not be fair, and I will agree to an extent, though keep in mind that 90% of the guys that are depending on parts for either of the nationals are in the first 40% of my orders. So Im not really pushing things much out of order.

My other box of parts just got here so now im going to eat dinner and keep assembling. Thanks to all for the patience and dedication to supporting those that build for the hobby

I do not have to have them by nats, but it would be nice.

[JeremyH]

Thanks John! PM sent.

Hey John,

for those of us picking these up from you at Nats, what all will we need to get them running? Will we need our own bearings, or will they come with them? Will we need to drill out our front hexes? If so, what size?

Thanks

Jeremy

[mammoth]

Very good questions Jeremy.
Please John or someone who knows post what if any parts, tools or prodcedures needed to install your axles!!! Or do they fit like stock replacements?
Thanks

I am fairly certain they'll come with the bearings we need and I am assuming they'll be the same thread as the old Super 300's....which is M5, IIRC. So, you'll likely need an 8mm wrench that will need to have the OD shaved down to fit inside VP hubs, if you are using those.

[Highmark]

I use this guy for the wheel nuts - shaved down the OD on the belt sander and it works like a charm.

This relates to the Vanquish AX10 housing with super 300's, but I also had to modify my drive tangs (the flat side of the axle that slides into the locker) so that the axles could slide in farther. Without the modification they're too long and you can't bolt up the chub or knuckle. I also had to modify the screws that hold the lower link mounts in place for the larger axles.

All in all, pretty easy stuff, but if you plan to use those housings with 300's be prepared to do some work to get it all to fit.

Yep, I use a shaved down Wiha 8mm. The key to making this tool is to use a STEEL tool....not aluminum. I've seen those break before...

[mammoth]

^^^ Thanks alot for the replies. Gonna be my first time using these axles and I got them for my xr and wraith so thanks for the heads up and tips!!!

They will come with bearings and wheel it's jus like the originals did. The xr housings have some internal ribbing that had to be shaved a little with the protos that I had, though with the turned down production units I'm hoping you won't have that issue, honestly have t had the time to get another set of housings to try. I would say if you have a flat and round file ( for those traveling light) you would be good

An RC-1 8mm driver generally always fits into everything without modding and I haven't ever broke one

If anyone has more questions please post up and I'd happily answer them. I'm taking the rest of the shafts with me this weekend(camping) to get them all assembled. That should allow me to ship most everyone else's orders out right after nats.

[nicodrive01]

Those are good news, thanks John

[dexcrawler]

Waiting for shipping

[OTHGbronco82]

They ship yet, almost ready to ship, a week away or what? Just curious.

[RcBro]

After nationals according to Johns post.

[OTHGbronco82]

Which is when? I have no clue when nat's are.
