Always liked the look of these axles - Reminds me of the big boy unimog axles.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

The front axle is a big boy. 1lbs 6oz as shown with shocks. I can't remember who made this cast axle hosing but it's solid. The rear axle is the stock plastic housing. They both have their pros and cons.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

Thats badass. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. The pictures don't show it but I have quite a bit of work done on this rig. A lot of little custom stuff to make everything work.
This rig will be a fun bashing trail rig. I am pretty much done with it and there are some minor things left to do.
Possible wheels.

Possible wheels and tires.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

I wish Eddie would start producing and selling those tires


Truck looks great
I have one myself and love it
It fly's and bashes like crazy cuz that chassis is so light

Can wait to see some video

Regards Rick

Re: Forced Wraith
 

I bought these wheels/tires from someone else but Eddie now owns them. Lol.
He'll be bashing on it for sure. That front axle housing just may be Eddie-Bashing-proof. Im sure 4s will be used.


These axles are solid. rear gears are underdrive and fronts are over drive. The ring gears are both 43t but the front pinion is 9t and the rear is 10 (i think), i cant remember the tooth count.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

The housings look like old rc4wd. New Era is the only other company I no of that built housings. Rig looks good.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

Now that you say that, I think Eddie said it was a New Era. "thumbsup"

These are the New Era axles.

RC4WD it is then.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

pretty awesome dude.

the front axle is awesome. always wish i would have jumped on them before they sold the last sets.

this will be fun man.

where did you find a 9t pinion?

Forced Wraith
 

Eddie sent me a ton of HPI parts that work for these axles. Gears, CVDs, Universals, etc.

I have another planned build with some force axles. One of a kind old school German torsion chassis.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

can't wait to see what that is!

i dont have a stock twin force anywhere. closest is the BYB, but even that is heavily modded. to me a twin force axle does its best in custom builds. i love all the sets i have.

Re: Forced Wraith
 

Awesome work as usual Shane! None of these projects would be coming to fruition with out. Thank you. You are gaining a wealth of axle knowledge from several different manufactures, both large & small, as well as time periods. You are building an extensive and impressive list of rigs built by you on your resume :mrgreen:

It may not look like it from the pictures but this was definitley a challenging build. Can't wait to see it flying across your yard on 4S power.
