What axles do you have? You really don't need to throw on an Axial axle if you don't swap out the other.....could be different gear ratio and width.

I tried the mind meld thing, but could not determine what your current axles are.

The Axial drive line is very durable on most any scale or crawler setup . ?The problem with giving you a good answer is we don't know what you are currently running.

Well I run axial axles and have never had a problem with them, and I've found several sets on ebay for around $88 which is well worth the money in my opinion

Axial axles are considerably wider than the Trex... What part are you breaking? The ring or pinion gear? It is quite possible that you need to properly shim the pinion gear to get good contact with the ring gear (or vice versa). Here are the replacement parts that you need to fix yur truck: http://store.rc4wd.com/STEEL-BEVEL-O...-60_p_348.html http://store.rc4wd.com/Heavy-Duty-Sp...xle_p_998.html |

O yeah I just stretched and widened this thing and it just doesnt seem to be holding up. thinking of building whole new rig so may repair this thing with new housing and put back to stock and sell.
