| Is there something new? cause I dont see images:-( -edit- They look great, they better be paying the person who designed them well   so They can be machined pretty much as they are? that will be good, they will look nice powdercoated black  Last edited by Fracture; 03-19-2008 at 05:11 AM. |

| Yay! gears of epic win nice to have the pics back up, lookin good just so y'all know, when I get my test set I will hook em up to the heavy fj with brushless 14.4v and do some proper testing ... maybe get some vidCause I want to know how much stress these can handle, I dont want my name on something if it breaks easily Thanks everyone for the input as I designed these, especially Chino63 - you better be getting a test set! and may I ask, why does rc4wd wanna be dave? is that the default vendor title or somin?

| Are the ring gears on the right side on both front and rear end? These will be a little harder to fix than the T60's. In this pic they look like they're both on the right side and the truck split in two or collapse together  No what I mean?Also noticeable in the first pic. |

RC4WD, please make note and recheck this. Thundermaxx makes a good observation. Hopefully this will be resolved before they go into production. | |

| Good catch... One of them is backwards, make sure the pinion is on the same side of the ring gear as a TLT axle. |

| Nah, they are designed for the 3-speed with counter rotating front output! Sorry, just poking fun at you RC4WD. |

| Where I work I know how it is to kick out a thousand fubars. Not a good day:-( It was an easy fix on the t-rex but a lot more in depth on these. |

| Those are some nice axles right there... They need to come in black for sure. Can't wait until these are available. Will they fit the RC4WD Bruiser Chassis? |

I realised that while mocking the design up on a vehicle, I told rc4wd to check that and mirror the rear if needed, it definitely is needed isnt it  I assume they wouldnt let something like that happen again anyway... Final bearing width is same as before, I cant remember what is is, exactly same as tlt I think.. does 6.6" sound right or is that something else? I havent figured out how to mount the upper links yet, they will need some sort of strut/beam/plate, the lower links and shocks can just bolt onto the axles with tlt shock mount type things. tlt mount spacing, I think that means front will be direct fit on bruiser, of course the u-bolts can always be slid further apart on the rear axle, it just wont be held quite as securely.

| what kinda price are we lookin at for a set of these awesome axles. These are truly beautiful indeed and maybe the most scale axle I've seen to date! of course it isn't done yet but dang it sure does look good already. I'm a little curious to know a rough idea on the range of width. Will they be closest to HL axles or a little smaller like Bruiser/Hilux axles OR like TLT axles? |

Identical width and mounting to tlt, should be direct bolt up for all those tlt scalers | |

| I'm guessing the tube diameter of the axle would be smaller than the Bruiser axles? For all that detail in the CAD you've done the machining would be quite interesting cause I feel in order to be as scale looking as it looks in the CAD that the diameter of the tube will have to be a little bit smaller then axles such as the T-Rex axle and Bruiser Axles Hua has or am I wrong about this? |
