Default Which ones are better?

Trying to figure out a couple of things for my B Day gift truck. The problem is that I am having a hard time trying to figure out my axles mostly. My 3 choices axial dingo axles , tamiya 350 axles or T Rex 60 axles. Which one in your opinions would be the best bang for my buck? I am mostly scale and trail running and doing a lil faster than walking speed! Your input is greatly appreciated!

I would go with the axial axle as well just because of the aftermarket support. I have a set of the trex60 and I like the scale looks, but they just dont seem to hold up as well as the axial.

High lift axles can be pretty durable if you shim the gears but the cases are a bit harder/brittle than the Axials. I have rigs with Axials and High lift axles and they have all held up very well, but i'm not hard on my rigs. If you want to beat on them the Axialsare better and the aftermarket support is great!

Most durable are axials by far. I'm rebuilding my trex 60's right now. Never had to touch my axials yet, and I've had them way longer. Trex 60's look way more scale though, especially if you have the ARB diff covers. So depends on what you are going for
