| Tough solid axles?
Hello, I want to turn my TrX4 into an MT and have the very heavy all aluminum MT wheels. Everyone says I will break my current axles and AR60s because the wheels are so heavy. Can anyone suggest what to use for axles. I am almost considering getting a Mad Crusher and buying the RC4WD adapters for my wheels. I have doubts the TRX4 will hold up to the added weight.

I just bought a set of the PL brawler wheels n PL destroyer tires. For a complete set its lil over $140 shipped. Or you could buy them seperate n may get them a tad cheaper Sent from my SM-J327VPP using Tapatalk |

I'd really consider not using metal wheels. You'll increase the weight considerably which means potentially bent axles on bad landings and add considerable drive line strain.

I will just use them for the pulling sled only with no jumping. The weight will help keep the truck planted.

I wsnt to revisit this post and get opinions on what anyone thinks is the best scale truck axle. I have a SCX10.2 and a TRX4. I want to make an MT or mega out of one of them. Or should I I just get the CEN MT coming out?

As far as axles go, im usin ar60s. I bought a set of stock axles n a set of aluminum housings. Just swapped the internals over. Ive got HR diff covers, vanquish aluminum knuckles (cracked stock where steering screws are), n used stock braces. They work great n good n strong. Like i mentioned in earlier post, im runnin proline brawler wheels n proline destroyer tires. If u look here in the mega/monster truck section ive got a build thread on mine. Its scx10/ax10 based. May give u some ideas for buildin yours Sent from my SM-J327VPP using Tapatalk |

| Re: Tough solid axles? $60 for the front, $35 for the rear. Not terribly expensive (not at all really) considering the parts included, but I'm still not sure how they (the TRX4 housings/shafts/gears) would hold up to monster truck use.
