large scale axle question from a tenth scale guy...

[summervillecrawler]

I have a Wriath that I have heavily modded, from the big venom 4200kv all the way down to the 40 series mudslingers on rockstar wheels... Heres my question for you large scale builders.

I am looking for straight axles that can handle the power and rotating mass of this rig, its 14 pounds, that has the 17mm hex's. It needs to be wider than a stock wraith axle, about 1 1/2 inches total(thats not a big concern how much, just wider is the big deal) I have rcwd aluminum housings already, and they hold up fine, but the spacers and 12 to 17 adapters are hell on the driveline. Bearings, snapped axles, knuckles, hubs, retainers, all get replaced regularly.

Any help or suggestions for "bigger" axles would be great, and much appreciated!!
