| Gen8 Updated Axles and housings.
I just finished my install of the new housings and they're top notch. The tolerance seems to be tightened up as the bearings and carrier all fit in nice and snug. The Axles are also excellent. The CV no longer binds from lock too lock. Also one thing I was really happy about is the front shocks now mount a little forward so that it's not even close to the pan hard mount. I really think with all these updates it's going to be a fantastic truck. Sent from my Vivo XI+ using Tapatalk |

Great work man, does it also solve the issue with the inside edge of the right front tire rubbing the steering link end?

So I called redcat yesterday to find out the part number on the upgraded axles that they are putting in the gen 8 axe and they are not available as of yet. Just on the new vehicle. He said to keep an eye out because they will post the new part numbers soon.

| Re: Gen8 Updated Axles and housings. That's odd, because I thought they were the same updated axles mentioned above, RER11821. Redcat just updated those axles, so I can't imagine they came out with a 3rd version for this new truck.

| Re: Gen8 Updated Axles and housings. Maybe they are releasing the HD axle housing kit as individual parts with new part numbers to go along with the AXE version. It would suck to have to buy the complete set of HD housings, c-hubs, and rear portal boxes every time you had to replace one of those components.
