|  RC4WD axels
:-(I just put these in my super class clod,kept breaking stock axels,right around the cross shaft on the dog bone,or the cross shaft just falls out.In the first 10 minutes of driving in my living room a cross shaft fell out.what the hell?these new RC4WD axels have nice splines,but they still fall out,i have never had this happen on my savages,or my hyper 8 buggy,why cant someone make a good set of axels for supper class clods?and the RC4WD axels are not any bigger or beffier.Guess i'll try to epoxy them in.

I'm guessing your using Raptor axle's. If there the new version(Raptor 2's) like you say the pin's actually thread in rather than the older spline'd version's(Upgrade from XVD's). When you upgrade to the newest Raptor 2's you can use locktight before you thread the pin in and you shouldn't have any problem's. | |

Yeah I had the same problem with my raptor2 axles (they come with the XVD's) when I went to the new dogbone design and haven't broke one yet. and I've bind tested them with a 3-cell lipo

I personally don't like integy. They seem to only copy other companies (and they do a poor job too) and thats in all rc stuff not just Crawlers |

I've destroyed everything in those axles, mashed gears, cracked bearings open, and snapped the pins off the axle. The important thing you must remember is this...RC4WD always has a solution!!
