Axle and drive shafts are done, we expect to be ready to ship the complete prototype axle to Leo early next week. More updates will follow shortly.

I keep trying to talk myself out of ordering these for my FJ build, but I'm beginning to give in...

You planning on doing the axle housing in plastic? I'd buy at least 2 sets.

Col_Sanders, probably not (or not that fast)....making them in plastic require a huge amount of initial investment, we have to see how the alum sell first. We dont expect to sell nearly as good as T-rex, but we will see

We expect to ship the prototype to our testers by late next week, more updates this weekend

I understand its expensive. I do believe you would do pretty damn good with them though. They are nice looking axles and believe me, I'd love to buy a set of aluminum axles but they are a little out my of price range now. Plastic would put them into more people's budgets and they look too real to pass up for scale builds.

Do them good and release all the necessary parts (4-link, leaf mounts, ubolts, etc) at the same time and I bet these will be your nest selling axle even though they cost more. Everyone has been trying to get you to make a scale axle like this for a long time, I know I will be ordering some once I can get all the parts t go with them

The axles bolt straight up to f350 leaf springs, The leaf ubolts have been designed and sent, and I havent thought about 4-link mounts much... I probably should

So hopefully they can be released as a package

Thanks for the support!
