Could probably use a rear truss on the front and just use one side of it. Have to figure out a panhard mount though.

Could mount it on top where the steering knuckle screw goes.

Looks like the Locked-Up panhard bracket could work but by all accounts the 3 link mount won't, those through housing screws are apparently located different on these housings.

Not sure that would sit right. Two holes are being used by the truss so you'd have to have a spacer to make it sit level. Could be done, but not a direct bolt on.

I'm thinking something that uses the two holes for truss and and one of the holes on the truss brace to keep is stable.

You are correct, would need some modd'ing to work around the truss, I was thinking of it without the truss & re-working the LU 3 link mount.

I'm sure it won't be long before after market support ramps up for these axles

Good news! The first round of TKO-10 axle housings will start shipping tomorrow! Due to the world wide pre order volume, orders will be shipped over the next week, your patience is appreciated.
Here is the information card that will be included with each order:
Thank You for choosing Ottsix TKO-10 axle housings and trusses!
TKO-10 axle housings are made from a special type of plastic that is very abrasive and gouge resistant. But, keep in mind, it's still plastic and all plastics have limitations. That being said, here are our recommendations for use.
Right out of the box, TKO-10 housings are designed and are perfect for low impact, scale type setups. This would include stock 1:10 scale rigs that are typically supplied with brushed motors.
For moderate to extreme crawling or racing, it is absolutely imperative that you use internal aluminum reinforcement tubes. Prior to the release of this axle, we worked with BeefTubes (beeftubes. com) to ensure the immediate availability of perfect fitting, top quality reinforcement products. For more information, please visit their site or find them on Facebook.
As with ALL plastic axles, avoid the following:
Significant falls...most of us wouldn't drive our 1:1 trucks off a 5' ledge or roll it down a 20' embankment...the same should hold true for scale rigs with plastic axles.
High speed impacts with immovable objects...again, think 1:1
Throttling out of a bound up or snagged tire situation...expect something to break.
Look out for poorly fitting lockouts and c hubs. You will find that the most popular plastic lockouts and c hubs on the market will fit very snugly which is exactly what you want. If the aftermarket parts that you want to use do not fit snugly, do not use them.
Properly setup TKO-10's look great and are a BLAST to run! So take a moment and make sure your setup matches your driving style and conditions!

I'm going to replace the stock SCX axle in the near future and love everything about these. I just can't give up my panhard setup. I hope someone with better fab skills than myself takes up the challenge.

Loving them! With the bent lower links on my SCX-10 the driveshaft got hung up a lot, but now they're high and out of the way! The trusses also clear the frame well under full articulation.

From the pics appearing on FB it seems at least the VP panhard/3 link bracket works with a little trimming to clear the diamond of the pumpkin.

Note none of these are mine, I know nothing more than having seen the pics today.

Edit; just realised I forgot the FB links in case people wanted to see

That is fantastic. I got looking at my VP bracket after posting earlier and wondered how much work it would take to make it fit. It looked close. My biggest concern was the bracket for the screw.

I will be grabbing a set very soon. Thanks for posting that!

Not to mention those pics look killer
