Big axles
 
So I have this Jeep, I am not sure what scale it is, but its 26"x12"wide and the tires are about 6".

The axles that it has have the motor inside the axle and they are huge. The Motor is a tiny 1.5"x 1.25". I want to put a bigger motor in it and better axles.


So anyways, what are decent strength bigger axles?

I would like to make some sort of simple radius arm suspension for it.

Any sort of information you could give me would be appreciated.

No Idea's for the biggest axles that are available for RC's?

Here is a picture of the Jeep next to my WK basher.

RC4wd Yota 1/5's are the biggest out there that are scale. But at 15" wide, your truck isn't THIS big.

You could use X-factor or TXT axles since the Yota's would be too big.

Check the large scale section there are dozens of axle setups people have made and bought, there are axles out there plenty big for that body"thumbsup" looks small enough to run 2.2 axles if you are going scale

From the pic it looks like WK axles would work.

Since it's already an MOA(motor on axle)setup, Tamiya Clod axles would be a good choice.

Or I suppose Super Bullies would work too, and cheaper overall by the time you mod the Clod's

The WK axles look like they would, but the jeep is 13 3/4 outside tire to outside tire. The wk is only at 11.

I think it would be too narrow.

The Super Bullies look pretty awesome, but man those are big bucks, lol.


The 1/5 yota axles look like it would be prefect, it would be like running full width axles on a lifted jeep. But HOLY CRAP, 350 each, lol. Thats not gonna happen anytime soon.

DO they make anything that size that are still plastic? Or just cheaper?
