Default Non crawler axle question . HELP !

Ok so I have been working on a 1/8th scale 57 Bel Air . Its coming along quite well exept for an axle . I need a strong , scale axle with the pumpkin in the center that wont break the bank. I have been thinking the RC4WD yota axle but description says it has a offset pumpkin . Any advise would be great . Thanks in advance guys !

Here is the ebay link to the axle I am referring to . It looks to be perfect but that description worries me .

wheely king or axial if you want strong. even a tamiya hilux or tlt axle.

even if that yota would hold up its just wrong to put it under a tri-five.

might search for an alloy rc4wd wyatt f350 straight axle case. they use tamiya f350 gears and axles iirc, which means you could use rcp lockers and pinions, and its pretty neat looking.

I got the idea of the yota axle from this .

It seems to be by far the most scale looking but I still need a few other options . The f350s just dont have that look. though I am still open to those ideas .

toyota might be just what u need. the rear straight yota axle has the centered pumkin like you want, its just the front diff that is offset.
