Default Twin Force Axle Kits...Finally



Well Guys they are finally back and ready to ship.

We only have 2 available right now because Kyosho was back ordered on the wheel axles so get them now if you want them.

We may offer all of the individual pieces but that's alot of photography and uploading of files so depending on sales we'll see.

You mean the suspension arms that go from the axle to the chassis on the stock kit?

Any idea on how long you'll be offering these? I know they seem to be up and down in availability on your site, but every time you have them, I don't have the money. I want to get a set one day, but with my luck it'll be the day you stop selling them.

It all depends on how well they sell and how long Kyosho offers parts for them. We ordered enough to do 5 kits this time around. Kyoysho was back ordered on the wheel axles, so we could only build 2 kits right now.

Everything we have right now is designated for kits. Since we have had these available (2 weeks) we have only sold one of the kits. We thought there was a high demand for Twin force axles. So far it looks like we were wrong. :-(

We can't offer support for a vehicle (axle set) that people are not buying.

How wide are the axles with shorties on both sides? I'll try to make funds available to get a set with in the next couple of weeks.

Cool, sounds good.
They are just over 10.5" hex to hex.

The problem is we have an entire shelf unit dedicated to these axles. We are constantly adding new products, and trying to increase levels of fast moving products at the same time. Unfortunately, if we broke it down to what we are paying for the space, and then only sell one or two kits a month, we will have to make that space available for something else.

We are trying to keep these available but only time will tell.

By input do you mean the pinion shaft? If so the pinion shaft is 8mm.

A locked Emaxx tranny, R2HD, V2, or possibly an Axial with the upgraded gears and outputs.


Will there be any more of these available? I'm a bit confused by the description, too. It says it comes with 2 short axles, so that you can change the width if you want. Does that mean it comes with a short and a long, and another short? Or just two short axles?

It comes with 2 long side axle shafts (dogbones) and 4 short side axle shafts (dogbones). So you can run it full width or narrow the longside down and stick in the extra shortside dogbone to have a narrower axle and a centerd diff.

I've been running a stealth tranny in my twin axled rig with good results.
