Moved to Newbie before this turns into a flamefest

It all depends on what you want out of your truck

If you want strength and your building a big crawler,go with Twin/Mad Force axles. IMHO,they are the Dynatrac of RC. They will handle anything you can throw at them. I've been running 8 1/2" tires and locked solid since the day I pulled them out of the box and have yet to break anything.

If your building a smaller/scale rig...TLT

If your a monkey and have little mechanical skills...Clod

shafties require a bit more work to build than a clod.

With clods you only have the 8 link mount lacations and the 4 shock mount locations to figure out on the chassis/axles. On a shafty you also have trans mounting, drive shaft clearance, pinion angles, more difficult battery placement, and torque twist issues.

I like building both. Shafties are just a little more fun, the whole challenge thing
