I think you should wait awile with your build and read trough these forums first, every answer to your questions is right here.

Building a rig for you is more easy than answer all those questions (nofi)

So, you've checked those on Ebay? Before you start you should read up on Bruisers and then decide.

[redneck909]

what do you mean by that??? i couldnt find any detailed things on them really .. i think the tlt axles are more bulletproof for crawling but i dont think this wil get used a whole lot or very hard.. btw what makes the bruisers so expensive???

I'd steer away from the TLT's. You can get AX10's for $80 a pair on Ebay through CKRC I believe. MUCH stronger and much better. You'll spend twice that on a pair of TLT's worth a crap and they still won't be as durable.

AX-10 axles are way more poular now-a-days than the TLT axles. For good reason too, tlt axles are crap and ax-10 axles are much better and stronger. I've had fully decked out TLT's and AX-10's and the AX-10's are WAY better.

[redneck909]

thnaks for the info bud i got some ax10s on the back burner list now while im waiting to finish my truck and get some materal for the 4 link... BTW do the linkage for the back hubs(the links to keep the back wheels from flopping around) come with the axles or is that extra

Price wise yes, you're right. But I haven't seen an axial axle more durable than a tlt yet. The case may be stronger but I've never had a breakage problem with mine. Ill never trade my tlts for ax10s.

Another thing to consider about axles is, what width is your body? The ax-10 axles are noticeably wider than tlt's. I personally think it's best for a scaler to get your body and then decide what width you want, and then get the axles that match that the best.
