Cool. There's a cool scale scene here in Austin. No where to crawl in Bastrop Co. that I'm aware of.

Go like the CFM Facebook page and join in the contest to win a $40 gift certificate for finding the difference in this centered Wraith housing, besides the width, than all previous versions.

Here are my custom wraith axles. The width is perfect, the true ''1 ton'' look. Thanks Clay.

Clay doesn't mess around. Another fine product. They look great under there.

Here's one that's been asked about in the past. Can you make an OCP
SCX-10 housing.
The extra width over a normal SCX housing is from using the Wraith knuckles and c's.

You have some mad skills to be able to do all this. Great work on the axles they look great. I wish I could afford a set for every one of my crawlers or at least one of them.

I've been eyeing up the VP center sections for some custom axles for my large scale Willys. When you make steel axle tubes, do you press fit them into the center section or do you use the set screws like the VP tubes?

The AXR-10 bybrids I'm running have been holding together nicely for the past 2 years, they just don't look scale enough for me. I'm ready to have a nice set of axles tat can take a beating!

For a Currie center, they assemble just like factory. On the Dana 60 style AR aluminum housings, it's a special sweat/press fit.
