Dont really know what you mean but axial makes the axles and straight axle housings to remove all the rear steering components.

Straight axle housings are also available for the TLT and some of RC4WD's axles...

Thanks,

For the stock housings? If so, then this is what you are looking for:

For the Straight Axle Housing Adapters, I would get a set of these:

I thought people were using a king hauler straight axle instead of the lockouts and a straight axle shafts.

I really like those rcp ones.

I ordered these the other day.

I just need the shafts now I guess.

Hummm....it looks like those should work. I've never tried them.

RC4WD makes the straight shafts...

I have not either. I am trying to play catch up on all the new axles. I am trying to build a 3rd truck as a gift and wanted to use one of the tlt rears as a front and replace the steering axles with these king hauler pieces.

Here is just the housing.

Here is a king hauler axle.

Not sure if this is the same width and TLT.

I was hoping to use tamiya parts since they so cheap and easy to find. Axial seems to be the most popular axle choice these days. I love the rc4wd stuff. Still have there 4:1 box.
