Default Alloy axle housing!

Just looked on E-bay...wow, alloy axle housing's, thought I would share for those who didnt see them yet. These would be awsome on a custom show build but man they are pricey. What do you guys think?

Yes, very pricey. Too rich for my blood, (and my stomach) but I could definitely see the need for them if you have insane brushless power.

But, you can't argue with the utter cool factor, and they def. scream "Bling".

but until I get insane power in my WK AND win the lotto, I don't need 'em.

Now if someone would just make some aluminum tranny gears and an aluminum trans housing for this thing....

I would almost pay it if they were Delrin...................ALMOST.

IF I could get 2 of them out of Delrin for that price I would be all over it.

There you go Harley, get TCS to make them out of Derlin and collect royalties. Oh, and get them to make Aluminum tranny gears with no slipper provisions. I HATE that little clicker.

HAHA, I don't see us making these anytime soon. There isn't hardly any money in these, the price RC4WD sells them for is actually REALLY cheap for the amount of machine time it takes to CNC them. I am just another guy wanting something for (almost) nothing

I am surprised they haven't released one in Delrin though, since they did with the TLT.
