We had to change a little bit from the original design and we expect to ship mid or late Jan. Both front and rear axle.




Beside Rockwell, we are working on 2 more scale axles. One is the spyder diamond axle. And another one is a very scale axle that we will use to replace the current axle on the bruiser. All these axles are in the work already. More update soon.

Looks good. Would anyone like this instead of the stock round style? Also way are there botls in the center of one of thr diffs? And Rockwells don't have bolts on the cover. They are one piece.

yes I know the real thing doesn't have bolts, but I had to make it this way because I didn't think it would be practical to assemble the differential carrier with a tiny wrench from the top (like the real rockwells). With the bolts going straight through, it allows you to tighten the carrier bolts with a standard 1.5mm driver from the bottom.

I really like the look of these. I think the pan that run2jeepn suggested would make the look much cooler.

If you want that much of a scale look put threaded holes in the bottom cover and just have it sandwiched through the top. Keep the scale look and still have easy assembly.

I like the bolts on the bottom with the removable plate. When you work on cars for a living like me you appreciate any little thing that makes it easier to work on! Nice job 500!

We updated it again, so customer can change the width of the axle easily.

Make sure to keep me on the list for these. I've had a Hulk Tuber waiting on these since you started on them..

That design is quite interesting. Looks like a lot of parts.

Good job on the design work. I like the optional axle widths!

does anyone else see the provisions for axle mounted dig? The brake is right there, looks like it would be pretty easy to add a disconnect.
