[Shake and bake]

well i have been talking to bobby at hobby proz for a few weeks about having new stock brought in at the store. he is bringing in a bunch of aftermarket stuff for the axials. bodies,links,tires,foams,ect...he also ordered his own axial for the store and is going to come out and crawl around with us here soon.

Awesome! Another victim to the addiction on the way.....

I've been working on the guys at Hobby Proz for months to stock more crawler stuff.

I was there today and had Ray order 3 Robinson Racing Hardened Steel Transmission lockers (1 for me, 2 for store stock). They cost the same as the stock replacement ALUMINUM gear ($25), and have the output shafts built in.
This replaces both of the (weak) ALUMINUM output shafts, the large (ALUMINUM) gear, and the 3 screws that hold everything together with a one piece hardened stainless steel unit.



I also had them order 3 of the hardened steel idler gears too ($12).

I've been meaning to compare an Axial gear set to what is in a Stealth tranny. I have a couple that I want to change out the out drives on so I can attach drive shafts to them. I rigged one up with some Traxxas parts but it the Axial pieces work, it'll be a lot simpler.

I'd be interested in testing the fit of your old Axial parts if you swap out to the hardened steel piece.

I bet they are close but not the same. Also the Stealth is going to be a standard bearing and the Axial a metric one. Maybe Dwane will post a picture of his scaler output. It has a .25 steel rod inserted into the stock drive cup and then a yoke attached to it.

Those parts work very well I ordered mine off of TCS I might just go get another set from HP today.

I just used the stub shaft end of a Revo drive shaft and ran a screw through it on one of mine. Had to take the heat temper out of the cups first. Dang things are hard! I also modded a Stealth with some Traxxas parts in the link in my sig. Worked great but it was more work than just dropping some Axial parts in it. I bet the stock Axial out drive parts could be modded to fit a Stealth. Aaron said he had a couple busted trannys I could use for experimental studies.....mwah ha ha ha!!!!!!

Ahem.... sorry, don't know what that was about. Anyway, I'll post up picks if I get around to it.
