In one of my threads I have a couple pics.... Wheely King, CXT, camper trailer Here's one of them: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...9&d=1167842134 A bunch of Cadd pics here: 3D modeling/rendering software Individual part pics on HPI's page: http://www.hpiracing.com/kits/parts.php?partNo=10820 And of course pics in this thread. And there's pics in the manual if you have a truck. Last edited by swhenrik; 04-03-2007 at 01:49 PM. |

do you think if you could have had the end of the 1/4" rod machined to fit in to the diff like the stock axles do, it would be better??... or do you feel your setup is stronger?... I ask this because if machining it would be better I would do so at a friends machine shop.... whats your opinion??

I just realized tonight that when switching to the Hardened gears it switches your pinion from stock 6mm to 5mm output. So if you are planning on switching to hardened gears later you will have to switch drive shafts as well. I bought Revo shafts and am going to have to go back to 5mm Tmax shafts. Just an FYI |

The hardened pinion shaft doesn't have flats on it either. Does the Revo shaft still slip on, but it's sloppy? Can you still put in the cross pin/screw? Can you then fill the voids on each side with something, like plastic chunks or JB weld? | |

I just wanted people to know that the hardened gears are different and that they are not 6mm like stock. | |

I didn't notice the flat in any pics, but it makes sense, the set screw in the metal drive cup needs something to press against. Making a second flat would be semi easy with a dremel with a stone on it (and some patience), but a cross pin would still be necessary. Drilling the hardened gear does sounds like a problem. Ahh yes... running a R2 tranny would make the Jato shafts more appealing. Or run T-Maxx tranny output yokes (5mm) on both ends of the Maxx shafts? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDDT2&P=Z |

For the hardened gears which are 5mm output and to the R2 trans I have found that these traxxas part numbers work great!!! 4927X times 2 4951X Very nice beefy shafts and perfect lenth Quote:

I've built a number of WK axled rigs since I created this thread. It is a general assumption that the WK axles are better suited to larger vehicles...like 1/6 scale, etc. Check it out... TLT axle on top with Blackfoot stub axles (Something we do to get a little extra track width and make the rigs more stable in an off-camber situation) and Pede fronts. Width: 10.25" WK axle on bottom with double-narrowed Pede rears. Width: 10.25"  Now...which of those two will have better steering force at the tires with the same servo? It won't be the TLT. |

After all this time, what is the best option for stronger ring/pinion and axles for the WK? I ordered the Integy Heavy duty gears, the details said they were direct fit but after intalling them I found out the stock axles will NOT work with it. You have to use the Integy cvd's with the crosspin. So for two sets of gears and 2 sets of cvd's thats over $80. Seems like alot. I also broke an axle after half of a 4600mah 6 cell nimh just like in the picture earlier in this thread. Sucks its so easy to break, but nice that it took 2 min to replace it after I got another one. Anybody having any luck with the alum tranny gears too? I'm putting a Traxxas VXL system in it so it will need to be strong. Thanks, T.
