Default All new D44 plastic axles from RC4WD

While at the Ultimate Scale Expo in Florida I was asked if I would like to try out some of the new D44 plastic axles from RC4WD. I was pretty stoked to be given the opportunity and already had a truck in mind to toss them under.







They come set up for the 4 link rear and 3 link front, and bolted up under my SCX10 real easily









I just got in the steering link kit and then im going to be doing some testing and have high hopes for these. look at this steering angle these have!



Stay tuned for more

-Mike

I'm guessing it's compatible with the existing aluminum D44 parts?

Axial internals compatible?

Is it just me or is this an odd release from RC4WD? There's a lot of competition in the plastic axle world right now.

I'd say no based on the unavailable AR44 axles...

That plastic panhard mount looks very suspect. Rest of the axle looks nice.

I'd like to see them next to SSD D60 axles.

I dont think so, I had SSD ones under this truck, and these are just as nice and also have smaller diameter tubes which are more scale looking. also cant hurt to have more options
