Default Wendigo finally broke a rear axle. But made some on my lathe

So it finally happened I broke the short side rear axle! And they are not available for the rear yet!

So I ordered some 8mm hardened precision ground 4140 chromoly and some 7mm hardened 416ss and made a few with my newly acquired Taig micro lathe.

They didn't turn out all that bad especially considering I'm a machinist newby.

Also learned alot about grinding hss tooling lol.

Drive on
