Alright I am in the process of getting the machine shop that is going to machine the axles to make a set for me before they do the production run. I want to make sure they can hold the tolerancing that I have on the drawings and there are no other changes needed. These axles will be for the V2 hexes with the thread lenghted and made for a M5 flanged locknut, I will include the M5 locknuts with the axles. I hope to start selling these axles shortly.

The drawings have been released and machining for axles is going to start any day now. Should have sets of axles shortly if all goes well. I have posted in the vendor section about the axles.

The shafts are tough, really tough, but nothing is indestructible. As crawlers we beat on our rigs harder than any other RC genre. No other class has to worry about 5-8 pounds of car landing at odd angles on the axle shafts from 1-5 feet in the air during normal use. Even Losi's manufacturer is figuring this out right now.

Go ahead and get them. You wont be disappointed.

X2 I dont think you have anything to worry about...the stock shafts handle a great deal of abuse and if you happen to bend the stockers up you could get a set of these upgraded shafts...x2 go ahead and pick a set up....bullys get better and better.....and if you have seen the new Bergs..well you know......

I like Losi. I have since 90 when i got my first Jrxt. But i cant believe Gil and Jr sold the company. If you want a giggle go read the Losi Comp Crawler threads right now. I think they are breaking CVDs faster than the bullies ever did, lol.
