|  buy these axles!!
I found these on rc 4wd.com. Im gearing up to build a scale 2.2 crawler and these just might have to find there way under her. Some one needs to empty there pockets and be the guinea pig and try them. If they work Ill be putting in my order!!http://rc4wd.com/shop/product_info.p...roducts_id=534 |

Yes please spend $2000 so we can maybe buy some They look awsome with the locking diffs but the price is a little high.

I think those are the axles used on the 1/16 scale big rigs, check garden trucking, I think the same axles are available for less although still not cheap. Glen |

But it says right there in the description that it is the ULTIMATE CRAWLER!! How can you put a price on having the shiniest rig ever out-performed by a $20 hardware store stick chassis. Those axles are comparable in width to a set of TLT axles, maybe a bit narrower. They are beefy but I don't think I am ready to fork out that kind of dough for a set of them. I don't actually have a need to unlock my diffs. | |
