Scale Diff covers
 
So I've been playing around with creating scale diff covers for the back of the axial axles.

The problem is keeping it scale while allowing it to mount and keeping it from not hindering when crawling.


I've got a few designs in my head and kinda on paper, the scaleness factor is the easy part :mrgreen:

My question to the scale crowd is, would this be something your interested in? Would you rather have it glue on and be as scale as possible, or bolt on and loose just a tad less realism then the glue on?

I took a paint marker to mine, and I think an actual diff cover would look better... glue sounds good, but bolt on would be sweet.

X2 for bolt-on. 8)

X3 for bolt on, even though looking at hte axial axles I suppose it will be difficult to do.

Bolt on would be sweet! Would be nice to dress up those axles.

If you do make them, put me down for 3 sets

Bolt on, glue on could maybe rip off if hit hard.

Bolt on..."thumbsup"

friscokidd 01-25-2010 01:48 PM

bolt on here too "thumbsup" I agree that a glued on could rip off

HunterR198 01-25-2010 08:47 PM

Bolt on, please. :mrgreen:

Some one needs to make, axial axle housing to look like real axles

bolt on!

i shave my axial housings down,to get rid of all the square edges.
after i do that,the housing looks a lil better.

excellent idea.....
we need scale looking plastic housings to use the stock axial internals in.

pardonmyn00b 01-27-2010 12:42 PM

Those would be cool. Glue and bolt on for options

ROLANDROCKSHOP 01-13-2011 03:38 PM

anything ever come out of this??

cmyers1 01-13-2011 07:56 PM

X2, I would love an arb diff cover for the axial alxe!

fa1rch1ld 01-14-2011 12:18 PM

It will be tuff to make it look scale because of it size....But if it looked right, it
would be cool.

I'd blue that sucker on and just have it clearanced so that you can still unassemble the axle easily. I think making it bolt on would make it much too bulky and thus lose the scale realism of it.
