Default Black Widow Axle

Click the image to open in full size.

From the creator of Blackwell. Brett has been working hard on the Black Widow, our next advance crawling/scale axle.

The design should be finalized next few days. We will be attempting to do this axle with helical gears. XVD axle will be standard.

More pictures soon...

From that quote, I would have to assume 2.2 sized. See'in how they only offer XVD's in 2.2 axles. I could be wrong, just connecting the dots. They could be doin' XVD's for bigger axles.

Nice axles, btw.

Here's some better pics of the Rock Widow axle. it will have a 15 degree cant to give a better angle on the drive shafts.

Negative, I dont have any ideas yet. The axle tube will be clockable in two positions (to allow for pumpkin left or pumpkin right) so any mount system has to accomodate.

Sexy, I just wish we could get the pumpkin smaller. I also like the reversed CVD that may put less stress on the pin.
