They would be PERFECT for the Mega Mud truck builds that have been popping up lately. That's one expensive axle though.


EDIT: Maybe not, being a 12" wide.

I still can't understand why no one is making axles so
the pinion is pointed at the t-case to help with all the
terrible drive line angles,and built in high steer.

You mean like all the axial axles where all it takes is clocking the inner C's and drilling some new holes?



Those are some pimp axles, I wonder how strong the shafts are?

I'M NEWWWW...
still a lot to learn,I've been building rockcrawlers for 12 years
so I guess I keep looking at these as if they are 1:1....
They are getting really close though,this hobby has come a
long way...
Oh ,and those axles do look beefy...

I want to see what the gears and inner axles look like before I say they look tough.

their Wraith upgrade axles do but I think that's about it. I really really REALLY wish their Black Widow axles did...those are THE nicest looking axles on the market imo but the gears suck! It'd be nice if they made them Wraith width as well...maybe even a center pumpkin option.

Here's my RC4WD Black Widow setup

This.

With the way rc4wd engineer things, makes me wonder if they actually play with toy trucks. Or if they use anything more than 55t motors on 2s But damn does their junk look badass.

Edit: well they don't use rc4wd gears....
" Replacement Parts:

XVD Axle for Digger Scale Monster Truck Axle ( Z-S1158 Z-S1158 )

GEAR DIFF SET 43T HPI86127

Bevel Pinion Gear 13T HPI86031"

1/8 MT diff gear parts is a good direction...

Same here, the 36/14 hardened stuff is a cheap and worthwhile alternative to Axial/hot racing.

Wonder if the 29/9 bulletproof savage flux diff gears are a drop in replacement for the 43/13 nitro diff gears, like the savage bulks, that're spec'd for these axles. 6s backflip on throttle landings can't be wrong

They are based off of a full size monster truck sheet metal F106 axle. They measured Grave Diggers axles that is why the are called Digger axle. The seem like they will be very strong. I haven't got to run mine yet. Still building the truck.
