| Nice, I like how the Spring mounts are molded into the axle tubes. Thats the way the T-Rex 60 axles should have been. |

| Looks like a good design. Only for the guys that like those Springs! The mounts being molded in looks good. I can't wait to see the new axle your talking about!  |

| Man those do look awesome, always good to have dedicated rear axles Looks like they will have plenty of steering throw aswell. Last edited by Fracture; 02-22-2008 at 12:25 AM. |

I would like to see rc4wd make an axle something like the original bruiser axles with round real life style knuckles and a small, braced pumpkin. tlt width of course.. Maybe if the gears were made from some very hardened steel you could get them small enough? Would definitely be cool to see proportionately scale axles, chances are they wouldn't hold up though. Could be worth designing anyway  Sorry we are so hard to please I hope the axles share the internals with the t-rex's, they do seem quite similar  Last edited by Fracture; 02-22-2008 at 12:22 AM. | |

| Hua: I thik you have done the knuckles upside down, the extra 1mm drop need to be on the bottom and the arm on the top. Everyone: Thanks for the comments. They are the same as stock High Lift axles and use stock High Lift internals. Also they can be used without leafs as I also have designed a 4 link kit for it. The High Steer knuckles are High Lift / TLT compatible. The pumpkin is as small as I could get it for a High Lift/TLT diff to fit. Last edited by Katan; 02-22-2008 at 05:29 AM. |

| what is the width on the front axle, from the outside of bearing to outside of bearing. (ie inside of hex to inside of hex) pin to pin measurement would probly work too.... but would prefer bearing to bearing. TLT axle is 6.6" will the front axle get twin link mount holes like the rear? for us 4 link guys?? Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 02-22-2008 at 07:59 AM. |

Stormin2u: The Cs are not clocked. STANG KILLA SS: I dont know measurements of the top of my head but they are the same as High Lift axles. Leaf seats and damper mounts are in the exactly the same postions as stock High Lift axle cases. I have already sent CAD for this:  | |
