We will continue working on the 2 speed t-case, chassis, tranny, 4 links mounts. We hope to have a complete kit by March or April. Both electric and gasoline version.

are these going to be offered in black as well. and 650 for the pair is a little high but that probably just covers the cost of materials and machining. i am sure these are not easy to machine.

i think that might be a good idea seeing as they are really big and that is going to be a lot of weight to slow down with an ecs or some thing like that. lol.

WhhhooooooWWWeeeee!

They look like supersized versions of my RC4WD bruzier axels! Great job guys!

I know most people must be like when looking at the cost, but as a user of many RC4WD products, it's worth every penny! Besides, it's for the 1/5 scalers and they should be used to prices like that.

some thing like the baja motor... 5b... or some thing along the lines of that... there is a lot of metal and things going into this kit, so a big motor is in order, i think some of the nitro motors can run this... i am not really sure, there are a lot of choices and options you can do as a custom. lol.

"Big" has my vote!

I dont know anyone that has some yet, but an 8x8 with these would be... well INSANE! (If you can adapt them to connect together properly)

im looking seriously at getting the rear axle. im planning on building a true scale trophy truck. im worried about the reliablity and strength. i would also like to see helical cut gears.

mamba monster
rc4wd 1/5 scale axle
e-savage tranny
baja 5b front suspension arms
dual 1/4 scale steering servo
rod ends from MSC
2 3cell lipo
baja 5t tires
tubing not to sure ??
as for the body im going to use this body its all fiberglass its LWH 43x19x13 with a 25 in wheel base.

i think you would be good with these. they are very heavy duity... i dont think there would be any problems with them in that rig, i think you can also wait a little till people test them.... just a suggestion for ya. lol.
